Olomouc Zoo Part One

The Olomouc Zoo (only Czech language available) launched its history in 1956. On an area of ​​42.5 ha, it breeds 1,861 animals of 354 species. It is located in the north-eastern part of Olomouc city, Svatý Kopeček, a well-known district for a solemn basilica, Svatý Kopeček. 

Silvery marmoset

It's quite convenient to get there by public transportation. From the Olomouc main station, it takes 18 min by bus 11 running approx. every 15 min or so. No worries about getting lost because the closest bus stop is named, Svatý Kopeček, ZOO. It takes nearly the same time (~ 20 min) from the bus stop to the zoo entrance on a walk.

Prior to visiting the zoo, all I knew was the zoo is recognized as having wolves. Despite the drawback of the presence of thick and filthy glass windows (full of fingerprints and scratches) causing miserable reflections and the lattice patterned fence hindering camera lenses from getting, I admit shooting various animals, bugs, and aquatic organisms was enjoyable. 

Common patas monkey

This time, monkeys in the zoo are introduced.

Common squirrel monkey

The "Golden time" to shoot animals is lunchtime whereas the worst time is after lunchtime= nap time, especially for cat species. You will know what I meant in the following entries.

Bearded emperor tamarin

White headed marmoset

Black and white ruffed lemur

Podzámecká zahrada

Podzámecká zahrada, Chateau Garden of Kroměříž, located in the north of town hall, was established in 1509. It was originally made for growing vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Over centuries of changes in style and fashion, it turned into a grand-scale English landscape garden in the 17th century. In 1850 the garden expanded its size to 64 hectares.

Currently, the garden boasts with 200 species of trees from various parts of the world. 

Zoo is also part of the park where chickens, ducks, turkeys, finches, and several more four-legged animals share the park with Homo Sapiens. Several of them (i.e. monkeys) are isolated in the cage.

Intriguingly, a flock of peacocks enjoys their time by taking a walk, munching bugs and getting fed by visitors in the garden. If you are patient and lucky, you will encounter a male peacock, driven by his internal testosterone, making actions to attract females. However, despite his psychedelic performance, it doesn't necessarily mean he is always successful.....

Nevertheless, they are utterly and unnecessarily stunning creatures in the world, for sure.

It's free of charge to enter the park but it may be closed due to heavy rains or very windy weather. There is a special tour with a guide.
