The Tama Zoological Park (多摩動物公園, Tama Dōbutsukōen) is a zoo, owned by the government of Tokyo Metropolis, and located in Hino, Tokyo, Japan. Tama Zoo was opened on May 5, 1958, originally as part of Ueno Zoo. The zoo aims to use its large site (52 ha, compared to the 14.3 ha of Ueno Zoo) to show its animals moving in a more free and natural environment.
