Was Darwin right? / based on a trip to the Feldman Ecopark /
I have a double attitude to zoos. On the one hand, animals should not live in captivity. On the other hand, a slightly selfish view - where else can you see tigers, orangutans, pelicans, deer, ostriches and rabbits?
And one sunny summer day, falling on the tail of travelers with a car, I got to the Feldman Ecopark (Kharkov). Large area. Lots of greenery and flowers. Groomed animals. Near the forest and the lake. All in all, all the conditions for a great time!
Technical part. Ecopark mode: 10 am to 7 pm on weekdays, 10 am to 8 pm on weekends. Free entrance. There is also free parking and free toilets on site. A free bus from Kharkiv runs for visitors without a car. Traffic schedule and other details here http:// feldman-ecopark. com / timetable.html
Due to:
- Banal - comfortable shoes, because you will definitely spend most of the day here.
- water and brakes will not be superfluous.
The ecopark has many outlets with all kinds of sweets, coffee and light snacks. But for a full dinner there are only a few places and they are very popular.
- if you want to feed the animals (believe me, you want to! ), bring carrots with you. It is forbidden to feed other animal food.

Goldfish Pond
And then the turtle yoga
And this is a spur turtle.
Interestingly, in this species, males arrange fierce fights for females. Such fights can even end in the death of one of the opponents (if he is turned on his back, and can not return to normal).

Nose is pretty
The king of beasts is resting. By the way, lions are satisfied with only one captured animal. They go on a new hunt only when all the meat is eaten.
Therefore, their victims learned to distinguish well between full lions and hungry ones. The first ones are not afraid at all, well, and if they meet the hungry - all the animals run away in a flash.
I sit, rest, do not touch anyone)) / pink pelican /
Camel Martha, who loves delicious carrots. Interestingly, scientists have long believed - these animals can do without sleep at all. During the day, they have to constantly pinch the grass to completely fill their stomachs, and chew gum all night. It turns out they never sleep. And yet the camels are asleep. Only their sleep is small.
Some parts of the brain sleep, others do not sleep, controlling the movement of the masticatory muscles.

Thumbnail. Who is sleeping? ! ! I sleep? ! ! Do you see the open eye? ! ! )) Interestingly, the owls are able to turn their heads around their necks, and the angle of rotation reaches 270 degrees around the vertical axis.
The main consumers of carrots are donkeys.

Visit the Children's Animal Theater play
Here you can see the goat-accountant)))
I also advise you to visit the "contact zone" of the ecopark, where you can hug and hug a tactile group of animals
And my personal favorites were monkeys. The more I watched them, the more I trusted Darwin)) He was right, we relatives, unequivocally)))
Monkey conceived
The monkey is sad
Orangutan Vasya. By the way, the very word "orangutan" means "forest man".
In nature, after nine months of pregnancy, a female orangutan gives birth to a baby weighing about one and a half kilograms. Humans and orangutans have the same number of teeth: 20 deciduous, and the final 32. Both in the wild and in the zoo, the baby does not part with his mother for a long time.
Orangutans walk on the ground, leaning on the back surface of the phalanges of the fingers and the outer edge of the soles. Orangutan's favorite delicacy is durian fruit. Who has not tasted this fruit - they say, if you grind banana pulp, mix with cream, add chocolate and all this thoroughly flavored with garlic, you will get a mixture reminiscent of durian.
Relatives met))
In summary, I will say that my dual attitude to zoos has not disappeared, but the charge of good mood from communication with wildlife, I definitely got))
