History
The first mention of the Odesa Zoo was in 1889 on the city's 100th anniversary when a draft of the plan was first created. Due to delays caused by World War I and the Ukrainian War of Independence, the building of the zoo on Prymorskyi Boulevard did not begin until 1922. In December 1927, three projects were accepted as a zoo building basis. The zoo opened for visitors in 1938.[1] At the zoo housed a unique nursery of rare species of birds of prey and owls of southern Ukraine, where the chicks are prepared to life and later released into the wild nature. For the young nature lovers the zoo regularly hosts thematical festivals, where you can spend your time having fun and advantage. In the zoo every year a lot of pups of rare animals are born. It became possible due to the active work on a complete set of pairs, full feeding and comfortable maintenance pets. In May 2013 Odesa zoo was accepted into the ranks of the Eurasian Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums.[2]
