Lipetsk Zoo, Zoo in Lipetsk, Russia.
Lipetsk Zoo is a facility in the Russian city of Lipetsk spread across several hectares with enclosures for animals from different regions. The grounds are organized so that visitors walk through both modern animal housing areas and more open natural-style spaces.
The facility was founded in 1973 and began operations with animal exhibits in a park in the city center. It has since grown into a place that houses animals from many countries.
The institution maintains connections with the Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums of Eurasia, fostering international collaboration since 1993.
The best time to visit is on quiet weekdays when the paths are less crowded and you can watch animals more actively. Sturdy shoes are advisable since the grounds are hilly and require several kilometers of walking.
The facility runs breeding programs for threatened species that are difficult to find in the wild. These programs help gather knowledge about rare animals and protect their numbers.
