The Zoo was clean and had a great variety of animals. Our 6 month old daughter loved it and we had a lot of fun too. My husband and I visited the Warsaw Zoo just this last June and it was a great adventure. Every year they put many exhibitions for display. They also run school lessons, lectures for students, activities for children with disabilities. The Zoo takes part in EEP Programs (European Endangered Species Breading Programs), whose aims are to save endangered species ( zagrożone rodzaje, gatunki). There are about 5,000 animals representing nearly 500 species. Currently, the Warsaw Zoo covers an area of 40 hectares (100 acres). The garden is visited by 600,000people every year. These were all constructed in the last few years. The most recent animal houses to appear include the Reptile house, the Aviary, the Fantasy Zoo, a modern Elephant House and the Australian Enclosure.
Soon, the last of the oldest cages and the old – fashioned animal houses will disappear forever. Since that time, new buildings have been built and the standard of living for the Zoo inhabitants has improved significantly ( poprawiło się znacznie). The Zoo had to wait until 1980’s before it was incorporated into the new development plans for Warsaw. As a result ( rezultatem tego), the Zoo suffered financial problems for many years. This was due to unfortunate decision to relocate the Zoo outside of Warsaw. In 1948, the Zoo was opened once again to the public.Īfter a short period of dynamic development, stagnation set in. The work started almost immediately and new animals were collected. In July 1946, the authorities decided to rebuild the Zoo. No one has ever found out what happened to them. The animals, including the favorite of the Zoo’s visitors, the elephant Tuzinka, were taken to Germany. The most dangerous species that survived were put to sleep on the orders of the authorities who decided that these animals might pose a threat ( stwarzać zagrożenie). During the Warsaw‘s bombing, parts of the Zoo premises were destroyed and many of the animals were killed. In September 1939, when the Zoo was flourishing, the war came and meant the end of its existence. In 1939, the Zoo was extended to 32 hectares (80 acres) and became the largest Zoo in Europe. She is still the only elephant born in any of the Polish Zoos. The biggest breeding success of this era was the birth of a female Indian elephant Tuzinka in 1937. New cages ( klatki) for exotic animal ( zwierzęta egzotyczne) were built, such as the elephant house ( dom dla słoni), the hippopotamus house ( dom dla hipopotamów), an enclosure for the polar bears ( pomieszczenia dla niedźwiedzi polarnych) and pool for the seals ( basen dla fok). At that time, it covered an area of 12 hectares (30 acres) and was home to approximately 500 animals mainly representing the Polish fauna.īetween 19, the ZOO developed dynamically. While you are in Poland, especially in Warsaw area, a great idea for you and your family is to visit the Warsaw Zoological Gardens.
