Description
Royev Ruchey Zoo is a large facility where animals live in enclosures designed to resemble their natural habitats. The grounds feature separate areas for different species and climate zones, allowing visitors to walk through varied landscapes.
History
This facility started in the late 1940s as a shelter for injured wildlife in the region. It received official zoo status when it was established within the Stolby Nature Reserve in 1961.
Culture
The zoo maintains membership in the Northern Zoos Association and joined the Eurasian Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 2004.
