The Tashkent Zoo is one of the most important attractions of the city of Tashkent. It was formed in 1924. In the past, the zoo territory occupied 3,500 square meters of land and included more than 250 species of animals. After the Independence of our Republic of Uzbekistan, the state provided enormous support for modernization and improvement.
He found a new home next to the botanical garden. The area of the zoo in this place was 22.7 hectares. A huge number of animals that had not been here before were brought here from all over the world. At first, zoo workers were afraid to try to breed certain animals, but over time they began to attract foreign specialists to train employees.
And by 2004, there were 349 species of animals in the zoo. Today, the zoo is home to 60 species of such classes as mammals, 76 species of birds, 29 species of reptiles and amphibians, as well as 181 species of fish. Aqua systems were brought to the zoo and placed in large aquariums with marine life, such as sharks, fish, etc.
Every year our state creates international projects to improve the zoo in which the whole world participates. A huge number of all kinds of plants and trees were also brought to our zoo to improve the ecosystem for animals, since while other world zoos are located outside the city, ours is in its center, so animals need to be protected from exhaust gases and all kinds of harmful substances.
From year to year, zoo workers are trained in innovations in the management and maintenance of animals. Therefore, any of them knows and knows how to find an approach to every inhabitant of this small living nature. The Tashkent Zoo is a favorite place for city residents; hundreds of people come here every weekend to admire the animals and feed them.
