ZOO Hodonín
People once visiting the Hodonín Zoo like to come back again and again. And there is no wonder. The plain field with lots of green vegetation at the edge of the flooded forest called Dúbrava is easily passable for everyone and in the course of a walk through the pleasant garden you can see 760 animals of 195 species. About seventy of them are ranked among endangered global fauna representatives. The zoo is one of the youngest and smallest within the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoos and its visitors may watch inhabitants of five pavilions in any time of the day or year.
In the oldest pavilion, you will be interested mainly in the exposition called Sea World. In the pavilion of exotics you can see a beautiful big toucan, Ara parrots and a collection of fruit-eating birds. The most popular inhabitants of the Hodonín Zoo include five chimpanzees in the pavilion of monkeys or big felines in the like pavilion. The colouring of the garden with an area of only 7,5 hectare is completed with a small but beautiful pavilion – a house of smart flamingos. The interesting features of the zoo include a wide range of cloven-hoofed animals and the exposition of European owls.
