The exhibition was dedicated to the <strong><span>200th anniversary of the Kazan Zoo</span></strong> (it was founded in 1806 by the Professor Karl Fuchs). Our zoo always takes a shine to its guests both children and adults. At present time 145 species of animals live there, 27 species of that are put down to the Red Book.<br /><br />By the way here you can see the living symbol of Tatarstan – the snow leopard called Silva. Silva is 2.5 year’s female and now the managers are searching for a <span>“fiancé”</span> to her. At the exhibition it was declared for transforming our zoo to some kind of European cultural centre. There is something in it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0o1snyHBo3w/RhpV0mw51QI/AAAAAAAAAFo/xja5i7CJ_bY/s1600-h/bars.JPG"><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0o1snyHBo3w/RhpV0mw51QI/AAAAAAAAAFo/xja5i7CJ_bY/s320/bars.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051444294296655106" align="center" vspace="5" /></a><strong><br />Collection of the Zoo:</strong><br /><br />Mammals - 45 spp., 134 specimens;<br />Birds - 52 spp., 206 specimens;<br />Reptiles - 13 spp., 38 specimens;<br />Amphibians - 3 spp., 17 specimens;<br />Fishes - 36 spp., 279 specimens;<br />Invertebrates - 2 spp., 8 specimens.<br />Total: 151 spp., 682 specimens.<br />Plants - 700 spp., 1800 specimens<br /><hr /><span><span><i>Kazan Zoo Address:<br />420059 Tatarstan, Kazan, st.
