Ankara Zoo, Zoo in Ankara, Turkey
The zoo extends across 32 hectares of land within the Atatürk Forest Farm, displaying big cats, birds, monkeys, apes, ungulates, snakes, and an aquarium.
The forest farm was established in 1925 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with the zoo opening in 1933 and the entire complex donated to the Turkish state in 1937.
An exact replica of President Atatürk's childhood home stands within the farm grounds, offering visitors insights into the early life of Turkey's first president.
The facility welcomes visitors every day from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, featuring restaurants that serve traditional foods, fresh dairy products, and charcoal-cooked meals.
The zoo maintains a specialized breeding program for Angora cats, contributing to the preservation of this local Turkish breed through controlled reproduction and sales.
