Have you ever visited Novosibirsk? The zoo, located in the capital of Siberia (unofficial status of the city), in a picturesque pine forest, is considered the largest in Russia. On a vast area of 60 hectares live thousands of representatives of the animal world. Many of them are on the verge of extinction and are included in the Red Books of various organizations, and also participate in the International Programs for the Protection of Rare Species of the World Fauna.
In the conservation area where Novosibirsk is located, the zoo contains animals that are distinguished by their exceptional beauty and grace. The leaders of the zoo decided to come up with an emblem with their image. Today, the snow leopard flaunts on the emblem , as well as a unique animal dressing, which first gave birth to offspring in this place.
The history of the development of a pet house began in the mid-20th century. At first it was a modest zoo with dozens of birds and animals. Subsequently, he survived the Great Patriotic War, a fire, a change of place, gradually increasing the composition, replenishing it with many individuals of animals and birds. And all this happened on the territory of the city, which is called Novosibirsk. Today, thanks to the organizers and amateurs, the zoo is a member of three EAZA International Unions (an organization that combines zoos and aquariums).
Over the entire existence of the zoo, starting with the origins, a lot of work has been done. A unique collection of animals has been formed, numbering almost a thousand individuals. And a few years ago, a hybrid of a lioness and a tiger, known as a liger, managed to be bred, and the female liger, in turn, has already brought the first offspring - a ligrenka.
Most people are interested in who was the first tenant of a house built for animals in the capital of Siberia with the beautiful name Novosibirsk. The zoo, in which bears are regular guests today, was the first to shelter them. Today, polar bears live here in a special aviary. Kai and Gerda (this is the name of their favorite heroes) enjoy the trembling love of visitors and have already become stars. A webcam is installed in their house, thanks to which the life of animals can be monitored at any time.
A visit to the zoo will leave a lasting impression not only among adults, but also among young guests. Here you can admire not only rare species of birds and animals of our planet, but also become a spectator of performances of animals regularly held. Soon, the long-awaited dolphinarium will appear, which, undoubtedly, will enrich the zoo and deliver many pleasant emotions to its guests.
Tired visitors are invited to distract from the animal world, and switch to entertaining rides or ride ponies and horses. You can have a bite to eat in cozy cafes, and to buy a souvenir for memory - in trading kiosks.
The ticket price at the Novosibirsk Zoo is quite affordable. For a moderate fee, you can see rare species of animals, many of which are located in this zoo, observe their lifestyle and cheer up from communicating with them!
