The Tisch Family Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem, popularly known as the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, is a zoo located in the Malha neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The zoo was founded by Aharon Shulov, a professor of zoology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Mount Scopus. Among Shulov's goals were to provide a research facility for his students; to gather animals, reptiles and birds mentioned in the Bible; and, as he wrote in 1951, to break down the 'invisible wall' between the intellectuals on Mount Scopus and the general public

The Bostock menagerie dynasty originated with James Bostock (1814-1878), who started working at Wombwell's menagerie in 1838 after leaving the family home. In the years following his employment with Wombwell, James progressed from horse keeper to contracting and advertising agent and became instrumental in attaining two Royal Commands for exhibition at Windsor Castle for Queen Victoria in 1847 and 1854.
The core axis of this dynasty would be carried over by three of them: Edward Henry, who became the successor to his father' James William, who managed a separate menagerie business and sideshow; and Frank Charles, who set off on his own direction touring the UK, Europe, and America.
Although Bostock and Wombwell continued presenting menageries until the first third of the 20th century, strands of the family diversified into alternative types of business as early as 1897, when Frank's brother, Edward Henry, opened The Scottish Zoo. Edward became one of the most prominent members of the Bostock family in the 20th century, expanding his business operations to the travelling circus, which included The Royal Italian Circus (formerly Volpi's Circus) and several Hippodromes and picture palaces.
Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie showed for the last time at the Old Sheep Market in Newcastle on December 1931 with many of their animals ending their days in zoos and museums across the country
