For years they have been talking about a new expanded zoo for Baku. So, it is nice to hear they have finally re-opened.

Whereas I welcome the upgrade ... and any changes, it seems not what I would have hope for. A doubling in area to 4.25 ha is not what I had exactly in mind.

We can for now only see the bird aviaries (imagine vultures or something) and the terrarium with what looks like maybe Cuban crocs).a

It be nice to have an impression of the map and hoogstock or carnivore yards.
