Zagreb Zoo is located in Maksimir Park, near the Dinamo Football Stadium, on the eastern edge of the city center. Maksimir Park is also called the Wild Heart of the City, with the largest Zoo in Croatia settled on the southern outskirts of that wilderness. The Zoo was founded in 1925 with only 6 animals - visitors could meet only three foxes and three owls back then. The story is quite different today - there are 275 animal species with a total of 2225 individuals tn the area of about 7 hectares. Due to it, Zagreb zoo is the richest in Croatia and, as such, a member of the Association of Zoological Gardens.
