Givskud Zoo
Givskud Zoo is a zoo and safari park in Givskud, north west of Vejle in Denmark. The park opened in 1969 under the name of "Løveparken" (the lion park) with lions as the only animals. In 1970 Asian elephants arrived and today the park has more than 700 animals representing more than 70 species. The zoo is one of only ten attractions to be awarded 5 stars by the Danish tourist guide Jyllands Attraktioner and receives about 325,000 visitors a year. It covers a total of , including currently in use for the zoo and safaripark.〔 It is planned that the remaining area will be part of the future zoo, with first phase opening in 2019 (50-year anniversary) under the name Zootopia.〔Berlingske (19 August 2014).

Givskud Zoo has been home to several famous animals, among them the white rhino Brutalis, who arrived in 1990 and was very aggressive towards stable equipment, other rhinos and humans (likely because he was brought up without contact with other rhinos, having been rejected by his mother shortly after his birth at Knowsley Safari Park in 1977). As a final solution, he was shipped to the private game reserve Ongava in Namibia in 1994. He lived in the reserve for 6 years before he died in a territorial battle with another male rhino. His story was covered in detail by the general media,〔BT (29 January 2000). ''(Brutalis døde i kamp om hunner. )'' Retrieved 10 April 2015.〕〔Krohn (18 July 2003). ''(Brutalis: The life story of a rhinoceros. )'' Retrieved 10 April 2015.〕 as well as a children's book.〔Hedlund, I. (1995). ''Brutalis: Historien om et meget vredt næsehorn.'' Forum, København. ISBN 87-553-2266-2〕
Another famous animal from the park is the silverback Samson, a western lowland gorilla, who has appeared several times on Danish TV. Samson and the other gorillas live in a exhibit (one of the largest of its kind), which opened in 2000.〔Jyllands-Posten (25 March 2000).
