Parco Natura Viva, Zoological garden in Bussolengo, Italy.
Parco Natura Viva spans 40 hectares of land between Verona and Lake Garda, providing habitats for 1,500 animals representing 150 different species.
The zoological park began its conservation mission in 1969 with its first resident, a hippopotamus named Pippo, commemorated by a statue at the entrance.
The facility functions as a research center and educational institution, conducting scientific studies while teaching visitors about global wildlife conservation and biodiversity protection.
The park consists of two main sections: a walking route through Fauna Park and a drive-through Safari Park, both accessible with a single admission ticket.
Visitors can observe extinct animal species through detailed models in the House of Giants exhibition, which also features living specimens like Komodo dragons.
