official site for visitors to Bratislava  

Soon after it opened in May 1960, Bratislava Zoo succeeded in rearing macaques, baboons, porcupines, nutrias, leopards, pumas and even dingoes in captivity, and was one of the first zoos in Europe with a breeding pair of northern lynx. The zoo is particularly noted for its rearing of antelopes, baboons and fallow deer; it is currently home to more than 1,000 animals from over 140 species.
