Zoos are favorite places to visit for both children and adults. All the beauty of the world around us is revealed in many types of living beings that inhabit the planet. Some zoos are so impressive that you can get lost in them. But this only plays into the hands of tourists, because it is very interesting to wander around the places where you can see amazing animals at every step.
To answer the question of which of the world's zoos is the largest, it is necessary to choose a criterion that determines its size. Judging by the area occupied by the zoo, the leader will undoubtedly be the American Red McCombs. It is located in the state of Texas and occupies 12 thousand hectares of land. But if we talk about animal species, then here Red McCombs is losing its position - only 20 species of various animals live on such a huge territory.
Therefore, if you choose the largest zoo in terms of the number of species it contains, then the Moscow Zoo can be distinguished - the largest in Russia and one of the oldest zoos in Europe, because it was opened back in 1864. Here you can see more than 900 thousand species of various representatives of the fauna. At the same time, the zoo also contains many exotic species, even having specialized pavilions, for example, "Fauna of Indonesia".
But the zoo in Toronto can be considered the largest in terms of the number of animals that are kept here. There are over 16 thousand different individuals in this huge zoo. The entire park is divided into areas that correspond to different geographic areas - from Africa to the Tundra. At the same time, each area contains species of beautiful inhabitants of our planet inherent in it.
