Nikolaev Zoo to withdraw from EARAZA, says the director on Facebook. As he's also the chair of the Ukrainian Association of Zoos and Aquariums, I wouldnt be surpised if other parks followed suit.
There’s nothing natural about a zoo, and war may be human nature at its worst, but for two 19-year-old Amur tigers, Penelopa and Agrypyna, survival means adapting to both.
This is the story of how they’ve lived through missile strikes, food shortages, and air alerts, all from the Ukraine’s embattled city of Mykolaiv.
From historic footage of tank battles outside the zoo grounds to tender moments between keepers and their animals, dive into a surreal reality: wild predators surviving a human war.
Meet Anna, the zookeeper-turned-powerlifting world champion who once raised a lioness as her own.
Follow Sasha, who has cared for these tigers since they were cubs—and stayed through everything.
Hear from Volodymyr, director of the zoo since 1965, who stayed with the animals even as Russian Forces started attacking the city.
With fewer than 600 Amur tigers left in the wild, their story is a symbol of resilience in a time of crisis.
