The Yekaterinburg Zoo (the Zoo, for short) was founded in 1930.
The first collection had only 60 animals. Today there are more than 1,000 animals and over 300 species in the Zoo. Five pavilions for warm-requiring animals are situated in the Zoo area including pavilions for birds, warm-requiring predators, monkeys, elephant, and Exoterrarium. Animals of north latituedes are placed outside. There are a cage for northern predators and Russian animals, aviaries for birds of prey, cages for bears and Siberian tigers.
The Zoo keeps more than 70 endangered species listed in the IUCN Red List, the Red List of Russia, and the Red List of the Middle Ural. These include such interesting animals as Siberian Tigers, a Snow Leopard, Fossa Cats, Amur Leopards, Lion-tailed Macaques, and Chimpanzees, an Indian Elephant, Steller's Sea Eagles, Demoiselle Cranes, Salmon-crested Cockatoos, a Cuban Crocodile, an Indian Python, a Radiated Tortoise, a Tomato Frog and others.
Now the area of the Zoo is 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres).
The Zoo collection has unique species the other Russian zoos do not have. There you can see Amazonian Batoids, predators of Madagascar such as the Fossa, the Malaysian Sail Finned Lizard, Kinosternidae, the Six-banded Armadillo, the Arapaima, and the Rock Monitor.
It is the only Russian zoo where such exotic animals as Purple-crested Turacoes, De Brazza's Monkeys, White-headed Capuchins, and Kinkajous propagate their kinds. This fact brightly proves that the best conditions are created in the Zoo for the animals.
Every cage has an information plate on it and visitors can read a name of an animal and know about its natural life and habitat.
Reconstruction of 1996 has completely transformed the Zoo image and allowed to significantly expand and vary its collection which is replenished annually.
The Yekaterinburg Zoo actively cooperates with other Russian and European zoos in bracing and keeping endangered animal species.
