Giant Salamander House, Amphibian conservation facility at Prague Zoo, Czech Republic
The Velemlokárium contains multiple observation tanks allowing visitors to view giant salamanders from different angles through large glass panels.
The facility gained international recognition in 2015 when it received Karlo, measuring 158 centimeters, from the Karlsruhe Zoo in Germany.
The facility implements educational programs about salamander preservation, connecting children with endangered species through interactive learning experiences.
Visitors can reach the Giant Salamander House by taking bus 112 from Nádraží Holešovice metro station to the Prague Zoo entrance.
The facility houses Karlo, currently recognized as the largest measured giant salamander in human care, weighing 35 kilograms.
