Tozeur - Tidjani Zoo

(Local Name: Zoo du Désert) In the northern outskirts of Tozeur, beyond the railroad, can be found the Desert Zoo (Zoo du Désert) of Si Tidjani, a citizen of Tozeur who was famed throughout Tunisia as a snake-catcher. In a series of cages, well kept but sometimes very small, are displayed various animals of the desert, now rarely or never met with in the wild. They include desert monitors, sand and horned vipers, scorpions, fennec foxes, jackals, birds of prey and a dromedary which drinks Coca Cola.

There is another, smaller zoo in the palm-grove to the south of the town.
