Aska­­nia-Nova Bios­phere Reserve is one of the most famous nation­al reserves in Europe, locat­ed in Ukraine. This is the only place on Euro­pean ter­ri­to­ry where the fes­­cue-feath­­er grass steppe has nev­er expe­ri­enced human influ­ence. A zoo has been cre­at­ed on the ter­ri­to­ry of the reserve, in which ani­mals and birds from all over the world are col­lect­ed. It is worth say­ing that in our zoo wild ani­mals are kept in spa­cious enclo­sures.
