The vast exposition of Middle Asia is dedicated to the animals from the steppe and semi-deserts from central Asia.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the year and in all weather, you can see the unpretentious and stoically peaceful yaks<\/strong> of the Himalayan highlands with a herding way of life, Przewalski’s horses<\/strong> of tragic fate from the Mongolian expanses, the resilient Turkmen donkeys aka kulans<\/strong> and the always-vigilant and careful Bukhara deer.<\/strong> Bactrian camels<\/strong> are nicely visible even in the snow, and the striped hyenas<\/strong>, which otherwise love to linger in the spring and summer sun, are also active in their outdoor pens in the mild winter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition line of pheasants<\/strong> becomes especially spectacular in the spring when pheasant cocks don the wedding garment and start making eyes with hens. Nearby, Siberian cranes<\/strong> with loud voices and graceful poses attract attention, but unfortunately, there are only a few thousand specimens of them left in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When walking into the complex of small carnivores of Central Asia, you will meet the Amur leopard<\/strong>, fluffy-haired and charmingly angry Pallas’s cats<\/strong>, and the almost always ready to socialize and curious corsac foxes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
