Barcelona Zoo
The Barcelona Zoo, which has existed in Spain since 1892, has long gained worldwide fame. In this Barcelona complex, animals live without fences, which are common to all world zoos. This allows visitors to wholeheartedly enjoy interacting with animals.
Special moats are dug between different species of animals, which are filled with water. This is how our smaller brothers are separated from each other.
This zoo not only accommodates various animals, it is a real oasis of natural resources. Here, on 13.5 hectares of land, there are at least 319 species of animals, as well as about 400 species of various plants. The Barcelona Zoo is also appreciated for the fact that it constantly participates in scientific activities, which gradually increases the number of endangered animal species. Many quadrupeds, born in the zoo, were released into the wild. Special attention in the park is paid to mammals, namely those species that are similar to humanity.
There is a railway running through the entire Barcelona Zoo, along which a small steam locomotive runs. In its trams, guests can easily navigate throughout the park, which is very convenient. Three-wheeled electric vehicles are also available at the zoo. With this technique, visitors relentlessly enjoy exclusive plants and animals and, of course, appreciate the conditions in which they find themselves.
The entire territory of the zoo is divided into exhibitions. Each of them is worth special attention, because it stands out for its fantastic design and its uniqueness. The local monkeys have adapted very well to these conditions, they have an excellent appetite and a good mood. There is a so-called "Jumping Gallery", where you can learn a lot of new and interesting things about the peculiarities of the life of some species of monkeys. For many years, the symbol of the Barcelona Zoo was a male gorilla named Snowball. This amazing albino animal has lived here for at least 40 years, which is equal to 80 years of human life.
On the territory of the Barcelona Zoo you can taste the magnificent "Palm Forest", which features a wonderful collection of various palm trees. The "Territory of dragons" accommodates Komodo lizards, and the life of reptiles can be observed in the terrarium. As for marine animals, not a small number of them are collected in Aquarama.
Barcelona Zoo fits wonderfully into any tourist route of the city. If you have the opportunity to visit this unique complex, do not miss it.
