Novosibirsk is Russia's third largest city, after Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and the
administrative center of Novosibirsk Oblast. It is also the largest city in Siberia
The Zoo of Novosibirsk
The Zoo of Novosibirsk is a world renowned zoo and a popular tourist attraction to the city. The
zoo has over 4000 species of animals, and actively participates in thirty-two different
societies for preserving endangered species. On average, around 700,000 people visit the zoo
each year.
In 2000, the zoo held the closest relative to the cape lion of South Africa. John Spence was
always fascinated about the stories of these grand lions scaling the walls of General Van
Rieebecks castle in the 17th century. Spence's search took thirty years, which led him to the
Novosibirsk Zoo where he found the closest living resemblance to the cape lion; the zoo called
him Simon. The lion and his family are kept outdoors in large, natural settings. The zoo's
current curator's name is Rostislav Shilo. Simon's cubs were named after him and his wife, Olga
