Zoo in Karaganda
Once upon a time, a circus often passed through the streets of the district town in the Kazakh steppe, for the performances of which all residents of Karaganda gathered. There were few other entertainments here, and the performances of each visiting artist were always popular. The idea of creating a zoo in Karaganda was born immediately after the Great Patriotic War, and by 1956 its territory already looked very impressive.
State Zoological Park of Karaganda
This is how the full name of the favorite vacation spot of young and adult townspeople who are interested in animals and nature sounds. Among the guests of the zoo are rare and endangered animals of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, including such famous as Przewalski's horse and kulan.
Bison and an elephant look exotic for these places, but local children are happy to get acquainted with the usual argali and gazelles..
Pride and achievement
