On our planet there are many cities that are objects of close attention and interest of tourists.
However, a few of them have luxurious zoos, which are not only "institutions" for the maintenance of various animals, but also places where you can relax and have plenty of fun.
Hungarian Zoo in Budapest
Zoo in Budapest.This building is one of the oldest zoos. Back in 1866, wild and exotic animals appeared in Budapest, which many residents of other countries did not even suspect of. Nowadays, the zoo boasts not only a huge aquarium (there are many rare species in it), but also almost two thousand animals that visitors can see, feed and stroke. Zoo officials carefully monitor each of their pets. The zoo also takes part in many international programs, including a program whose main goal is to preserve endangered species of animals.
Chinese Zoo in Beijing
Beijing Zoo.Despite the fact that the construction of the zoo was completed only in the 20th century, today having visited it, you can get acquainted with more than seven thousand species of animals and birds from around the globe. It is interesting that all the architecture in the zoo is made in a traditional style, and the space is occupied by huge gardens with ponds, near which it is nice to sit in warm weather.
Amazing fountains of the Beijing Zoo.In the heart of the zoo there was a place for rare animals living in China itself. And, of course, the most popular place is the bamboo thickets that serve as home for everyone's favorite pandas, near which there are always a lot of visitors. But the zoo can offer not only land animals: the six thematic zones with many fish and marine animals contain the famous oceanarium. But that’s not all - the former palace in which the emperor’s family used to live is located on the territory of the zoo!
German Zoo in Berlin
Berlin Zoo: entrance.In the distant 1844 this zoo appeared, and to this day it is one of the main relics of Berlin. But this is not only one of the oldest and largest places of keeping various animal species. From the very entrance, visitors are amazed at the architecture: the elephant gates rarely leave anyone indifferent, and the territory close to the habitat will allow visitors to plunge into the atmosphere of life of every resident of the zoo! Mysterious cranes, whose pavilion is made in the style of the country of the rising sun, proud antelopes that quickly run across the earth, and huge lions sitting in the savannah - all this can be proud of the German zoo.
Russian Zoo in Moscow
Moscow Zoo.Perhaps this zoo has one of the most fascinating stories of its existence: being built in 1864, it survived many revolutions and 2 world wars! Of course, this could not have a beneficial effect on the state of the zoo: by the seventies it was almost destroyed. But then the authorities intervened, and a huge reconstruction took place. Now the zoo is not only a habitat for animals, but also a nursery whose goal is to reproduce endangered animals, as well as a park with a safari. The zoo holds many interesting lectures about each of its inhabitants, also near it there are its own theater and art studios that host students.
Singapore Zoo
Zoo in Singapore.This zoo is interesting in that it is he who holds the record for the number of victories in international competitions. By visiting it, you will find yourself in the real life of one kind or another, being protected from the animal itself only by a natural barrier: a pond, rock, living fence. In this place, they do everything to make it convenient for both visitors and animals: animals are as close as possible to their environment, an excursion tram runs throughout the zoo, there is a show called “Breakfast with an orangutan,” and children will certainly be interested in feeding giraffe from the hands.
