Have you ever visited Novosibirsk? The zoo, located in the capital of Siberia (unofficial city status), in a picturesque pine forest, is considered the largest in Russia. Thousands of representatives of the animal world live on a huge area of 60 hectares. Many of them are on the verge of extinction and are included in the Red Books of various organizations, and also participate in international programs for the protection of rare species of the world fauna.
In the protected area where Novosibirsk is located, the zoo contains animals that are distinguished by their exceptional beauty and grace. Zoo leaders decided to come up with an emblem with their image. Today, the snow leopard flaunts on the emblem, as well as a unique animal ligation, which for the first time gave offspring in this place.
The history of the development of the animal house began in the middle of the 20th century. Initially, it was a modest zoo with several dozen birds and animals. In the future, 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 took place on the territory of the city, whichis called Novosibirsk. Today, thanks to the organizers and amateurs, the zoo is a member of three EAZA International Unions (an organization that unites zoos and aquariums). During the existence of the zoo, starting from the very beginning, a lot of work has been done. A unique collection of animals has been formed, numbering almost a thousand individuals. A few years ago, they managed to breed a hybrid of a lioness and a tiger, called a liger, the female liger, in turn, already brought the first offspring - a liligren.
Most people are interested in who was the first occupant of a house built for animals in the capital of Siberia with the beautiful name of Novosibirsk. The zoo, in which bears are now permanent guests, was the first to shelter them. Today, polar bears also live here in a special enclosure. Kai and Gerda (that's the name of their favorite heroes) enjoy quivering love among visitors and have already become stars. Their house is equipped with a webcam, thanks to which you can monitor the life of animals at any time.
A visit to the zoo will leave an indelible impression not only on adults, but also on young guests. Here you can admire not only rare species of birds and animals of our planet, but also become a spectator of animal performances that are regularly held. The long-awaited dolphinarium will appear soon, which will undoubtedly enrich the zoo and bring many pleasant emotions to its guests.
