Moscow Zoo

Some snaps from the Moscow Zoo - is the largest and oldest zoo in Russia.It was founded in 1864

This is the main duck pond in the centre of the zoo.

Tiger (Panthera tigris)

Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx)

Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)

Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus)

The world's largest land carnivores Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)

These smart - Hooded Crows (Corvus cornix)- were stealing some of the Polar Bear's meal.

This is a small enclosure for a species of monkey.

The highly entertaining Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta)

These amazing lemurs (like all other members of the Lemur Family) are only found on the island of Madagascar.

Orangutan (I'm not sure which of the two species of the ape this is)

The Orangutan enclosure with one the city famous Seven Sister buildings in the background.
This photo was taken from the bridge that connects the two parts of the zoo.
The highly endangered Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria). One of three superficially similar species of crowned pigeons (the others being the Western Crowned Pigeon and the Southern Crowned Pigeon),unlike the other two species the Victoria has white-tipped sagittal crest.
One more snap of the Seven Sister building as seen from inside the zoo. The view reminded me of walking inside New York's Central Park and looking at the city's sky-scrapers towering above the park's beautiful trees.
