Description

Southampton Zoo, in Southampton, United Kingdom , was founded in 1961. Southampton Zoo closed down in 1984.


Comments / picturesOwned by Jimmy Chipperfield and was used as a holding unit for animals being transferred between Safari Parks.

1967: Terry Duggan trained animals for the film "2001 Dawn of Men".


How did they shoot the leopard scenes in '2001'? Dan Richter explains:

Duggan had already worked with the Chipperfield's, a famous british circus, and later joined a member of the family, Jim Clubb, who had started a film animal business and at that time of the shooting of 2001 was operating Southampton Zoo.

From an entry in Richter\'s entry in the book dated January 2, 1967:
(Kubrick): "When are you going down to the South Hampton Zoo?"
(Our animal trainers from Jimmy Chipperfield\' s have put the animals we will need for "The Dawn of Man" in the South Hampton zoo. We have tapirs, a chimp, a zebra, a lion, and a leopard.)
"I'm going down this weekend [...] I'm meeting the trainer Terry Duggan and he is going to show them to me.
"Take lots of pictures. I want to see Duggan staging his play fights with the lion and the leopard. I haven't decided which one to use yet."
