Giant Salamander House, Amphibian conservation facility at Prague Zoo, Czech Republic
The Giant Salamander House is an amphibian observation facility at Prague Zoo dedicated to caring for and breeding giant salamanders. Multiple tanks with large glass panels allow visitors to watch the animals from different angles and distances.
The facility was established as a specialized center for threatened giant salamanders and grew into an important breeding program hub. The arrival of a notably large specimen from abroad marked a significant milestone in the center's development.
The facility reflects the zoo's commitment to amphibian protection and gives visitors a chance to witness endangered species up close. The work here demonstrates how modern zoos actively contribute to the survival of rare amphibians.
The facility is located within the zoo grounds and can be reached by bus 112 from the metro station. It is worth allowing extra time to watch through the glass panels, as the animals do not always display active behavior.
The facility houses a particularly large giant salamander that is known among specialists around the world for its remarkable size. This animal regularly draws attention from visitors who come specifically to see it.
