One question:
in some places I real that Sofia's zoo was between 1888 and 1890 in Princely Palace Park; between 1890 and 1984 in Park na Svobodata (15 Tolbukhin Blvd.); and since 1984 in its current place. Then there have been two changes of location.
In other places I read that there have only been two locations: one between 1888 and ca. 1982 and another in its current place.
Does anyone know the correct version?

 

Sofia are expecting a female Indian sloth bear from Singapore zoo after the lockdown. They are part of the EEP and received a male from Leipzig few years ago.

 

Sofia zoo opened the new Primate zone today. After more than three years of reconstruction the new enclosures are finally ready. There are 14 new excibits for 10 species, spread in ten times bigger area, with both indoor and outdoor access. The species list include Lar Gibbons, Lion-tailed Macaques and Hanuman Langurs.
