Prague Zoo at EXPO
Prague Zoo has the unique opportunity this year to participate in the EXPO 2015 world’s fair taking place in Milan, Italy. The aim of Prague Zoo’s presentation at the fair is to introduce itself to the world and, at the same time, demonstrate the relevance of the modern zoo.
In Prague Zoo today, the Mongolian President, Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh, officially named the Przewalski’s horse foal. The two-week-old filly was given the name Dagina—which translates as “Heavenly Fairy”.
The history of Prague Zoo goes all the way back to the year 1881, when, on the occasion of the wedding of Crown Prince Rudolf and Princess Stephanie of Belgium, Count Sweerts-Sporck published an open letter in the newspapers calling for the establishment of a zoological garden in Prague.
