- London Zoo
Initially, London Zoo was intended for scientific research and only 21 years later (1847) was it opened to the public. This is one of the oldest scientific zoos in the world. The territory is relatively small 46 hectares, but it contains 755 species of animals, and about 16 thousand fish, insects, animals, reptiles. Animals are kept in open enclosures.
