An animal sanctuary in China which is known as “the humblest zoo in history” has gone viral thanks to the meticulous care its director takes of its inhabitants.

The small zoo, located in a mountainous region in Kaili city, southwestern China’s Guizhou province, only measures 3,500 square metres but is home to more than 20 types of animals.
These include nationally protected animals such as the tiger, lion and bear.
The zoo’s director, 70-year-old Feng Yuanyong, is a retired secondary school headmaster from eastern China’s Anhui province.
After he retired in 2016, he and his wife moved to Kaili to take care of the zoo in which his brother is an investor.

Feng learned from scratch how to look after different animals and says he has become an expert over the past decade.
