Description
Hearst Castle Zebra Hearst Ranch 2 by Barbara Snyder
The Biggest Private Zoo In The World
A little background here – Hearst Castle was built by William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate, on 250,000 acres near the northern California coast that he inherited from his mother in 1919. Hearst also created the largest private zoo in the world, beginning in 1923 when American bison, Rocky Mountain elk, and European white fallow deer were introduced.
Hearst Castle is now owned by the state of California, but Hearst Ranch, where the zoo was, remains in private hands. Very few descendants of Hearst’s original animal collection remain, but there are still a few Barbary sheep, tahr goats, sambar, and about 80 zebras that still wander the ranch’s 82,000 acres.
