The Priamursky Zoo opened in October 2002 on 6.2 hectares (15 acres) of a picturesque hillside near Voronezh-2, close to the Amur River. Its spacious enclosures, blended naturally into the forest landscape, house some 60 species, about 170 animals in all, most of them native to the Russian Far East. None were caught in the wild for the zoo: it takes in animals that would not survive on their own, and often hand-rears orphaned cubs. The idea was born thirty years ago and came to life on the site of the former Liza Chaikina camp, after six Young Pioneer camps were handed over to the project.

Point 11
📜 Historic site
Zoo staff and visitors alike call this area the Nanai village. It brings together replicas of village buildings, household items, and ritual structures once used in everyday life. The small ethnographic complex appeared at the zoo around 2013. It is a unique place, combining a zoological exhibit with an open-air museum.
On weekends, and especially on holidays, visitors can immerse themselves in the everyday life of the Nanai, an Indigenous people of the Far East. Tanning fish skin, traditional Nanai clothing, drumming on a shaman's drum, folk songs and dances: all this and much more awaits you in the Nanai village of the Priamursky Zoo.
