Leningradsky Zoo

Being one of the oldest zoological gardens in Russia, Leningradsky Zoo is also known to be a northernmost one. It was opened on August 14, 1865, founded by two animal-lovers, Sophia and Julius Hebhardt. Located in the historical center of St. Petersburg, not far from the famous St. Peter and Paul Fortress, the Zoo nowadays occupies an area of about 7,5 hectares and demonstrates nearly two thousand animals belonging to 410 species. Each beast, bird or reptile is peculiar as well as attractive in its own way.
