Papua The largest aquatic-terrestrial exhibit at Ostrava Zoo.

Exhibit integrating aquatic and terrestrial environments is so far the largest of its kind. Designed to illustrate the natural tropical systems of Papua-New Guinea, it presents local animal species at risk which include turtles, reptiles and fish. These groups had been under-represented in Ostrava, but are now more prominently featured for our visitors.

Tanganyika by Night Come and see what the animals do at night!

The exhibit presents nocturnal African animal species. Nocturnal exhibits are based on a reverse light regime. The lights in the exhibit are switched on during the night, and on the contrary, during the daytime the night light conditions are created by the blue light by which the animals are not disturbed. Therefore, the visitors have a chance to see nocturnal animals naturally active.
