Novosibirsk ZooThe natural landscape was taken into account while constructing the roads and enclosures making the roads meander among the pine trees. The huge territory gives an opportunity not only to watch animals, but also to have a walk down the paths and alleys in a real Siberian forest. The zoo is especially beautiful in autumn because of the fascinating yellow and red trees.

The Novosibirsk Zoo specializes in breeding mustelidae and felidae and has one of the best collections of such animals in the world. The symbol of the Zoo is a snow leopard, a unique graceful and beautiful animal that in Siberia can be found only in the Altai region and Sayano-Shushenski Nature Reserve.
