The Royal National Biological Park is the national zoo, aquarium and botanical gardens of Meckelnburgh. The park is located in Victoria, the second largest city in the country, and the capital of the province of Siegrwangria. Victoria is located in the warmest part of Meckelnburgh.
The National Biological Park is owned by the Meckelnburghish Crown. It was officially founded and received its "royal" prefix in 1695 AN, though the Crown had owned various zoological exhibitions for decades. The park was originally founded to house plants and animals from diplomatic gifts to the Monarch as well as conserve the natural living resources of Meckelnburgh. Many of the species are endemic to the constituent countries of Salem and Iselande.
