Spring is also the season when most our animals breed their posterity. Though considered to be very joyful by our young and adult visitors, this period is troublesome for both animals and zoo attendants. Anyhow, any new-born beast, nestling or reptile is being met in our Zoo as a precious addition to its collection of animals. On the whole, breeding and saving of animals, especially those belonging to rare species, is our main task. Those admiring bird singing are also invited to visit us in springtime when air is full of warbles of a unique birds chorus.
Terrarium is open for snake and lizard-lovers the whole year round.
To our great regret, this department of the Zoo has no possibility to demonstrate venomous snakes as well as the largest specimens of pythons and boas, crocodiles and turtles - it lacks room for their exposition. Booking-office is being closed an hour earlier. Scientific-elucidative department of Leningradsky Zoo organizes various review and subject excursions aimed for children and adults. Orders are to be done not later than in 3 days before the excursion date and require special payment. Number of persons in one group can't exceed 30.
