Hundreds of animals and birds
There are many different species of animals living in our zoo. From small and quick raccoons to large bisons, from deer and camels, that are familiar to everyone, to rare and exotic takins. They all are our beloved charges, whom we care for as our children. The animals live in a spacious outdoor area surrounded by ecologically clean Karelia lakes and forests. We preserved the maximum natural conditions of the region to provide comfortable life for animals and created the necessary environment for those who needed it. For example, ponds for waterfowl. Many animals love the warmth of human hands and gladly allow to pat them. Some of them, living in the zoo, started families and delight us with new additions. The zoo is also expanding due to the regular acquisition of new species of animals and birds.
