The Night World pavilion will settle cheiroptera: bats, flying foxes, and others. The creation of Bears’ Island exposition will expand the collection of bears to four species. There will be new spacious cages for canines and their collection will also increase. For the first time penguins will appear in Odesa Zoo, and Tropicario will be built many species of arthropods”.
