Ankarazoo - a corner for wildlife lovers - Turkey: travel guide

At the entrance, on a hill, there is an interesting sculpture that symbolizes the feelings of peace and friendship among animals. It represents a tiger, next to which stands a giraffe, next to it is an elephant with a small monkey sitting on its head.

Those who are used to traveling on their own and sightseeing without a guide and tour groups can rent a car in Turkey at a rental office and not depend on anyone. Renting a car in Alanya will cost an average of 15 euros per day, in Istanbul from 14 euros per day.


The zoo itself is rich in animals collected from all over the world. There is a crocodile, which is huge. He is rather sad and lethargic, and all because he would have to go to his homeland, to Africa, but here you need to imagine. And despite the fact that he is a representative of a hot country, he is stuffy in Turkey. It seems that he is too lazy to make unnecessary movements.

In another enclosure lie camels, which are also hot, although they are the main inhabitants of the desert. There are also a lot of enclosures with various monkeys, from the smallest to the largest. They, as always, beg, and eat with pleasure what the visitors give them.



Brown bears also live in the zoo, who feel at home and have already given birth to a funny baby. Therefore, the second generation of these wonderful animals, representatives of the northern forests, lives, grows and develops in AnkaraZoo.

A rather large composition is represented by the cat family, which consists of two kings of animals - lions, six handsome tigers, as well as a van cat, which is one of the main prides of Turkey. The van cat is a snow-white beauty, with eyes of different colors - one blue and the other yellow. There is also a huge giraffe, which is very beautiful.


In the aquarium hall you can observe a rich underwater world, which is represented by various fish, beautiful butterflies that swim in the water. In the terrarium you can see turtles, snakes.
AnkaraZoo is one of the best zoos in the world, and this is very justified.
