Korea Central Zoo, Zoo in Pyongyang, North Korea
The Korea Central Zoo maintains numerous animal enclosures across its grounds, featuring both regional Asian species and international wildlife collections.
The zoological park opened its gates on April 1, 1959, marking North Korea's first major institutional commitment to public wildlife exhibition and conservation.
The zoo serves as an educational center where North Korean families gather to learn about wildlife while following traditional social customs and behaviors.
Visitors can explore the zoo's exhibitions through designated pathways that connect different animal sections, including mammals, birds, and reptile houses.
The facility incorporates specific architectural elements that reflect North Korean design principles, with buildings featuring traditional curved roofs and ornamental details.
