    'The oldest bear' is a lie of zoo's PR department!!!
    There are many older brown bears in captivity over the world, some reaching 50.
    Our zoo's brown bears are 34 & 33 years old and will definitely break Varvara's 'record'!

    The zoo's elderly female giraffe Luga turns 33 this week. She was born at the same zoo in 1981.

    1st birth of African lions (1.2, zoomix mutts as usual) since 1984.
    In late 80's-early 90's the zoo kept and bred Asian lions.
