Thanks, I also love animals and I totally agree with you, zoo is not the best place for them, I felt it since I was a child. However, I did not know about this story and wanted to see this place with my own eyes. The garden is beautiful and far away from the busy streets and has a fairly quiet energy, I think that these animals have good care.

I am glad they had good care and that it was in a peaceful place...
I think there was a zoo on some island in former communist-Yugoslavia, where a bunch of animals escaped, so now there is all kinds of cool animals living on that island...=)

"In 1978 a safari park was created on the northern part of the island, covering an area of 9 hectares.[9] The park is used as home to a number of exotic animals, most of whom were brought to Tito as gifts from heads of states who were members of the Non-Aligned Movement. These include Nilgai antelopes (given by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1959), the Kob antelopes (given by Zambia in 1962), Somali sheep (given by Ethiopia in 1959), Zebus, zebras, Indian Elephants and llamas.[9] In addition, the chital deer, the Fallow deer and mouflons were introduced to the island in the early 20th century.[10] Their numbers increased in the following decades and can be seen roaming freely around the island."

This would be a pretty cool place to visit. =)
Maybe you can go there and make a steemit post about it...
Veliki Brijun
Veliki Brijun (literally meaning Great Brijun, Italian: Brioni Grande) is an uninhabited island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. It is located off the west coast of Istria in northern Adriatic and is the largest island in the Brijuni Islands (also known as the Brioni or the Brionian Islands) archipelago. Like most of the archipelago, Veliki Brijun is part of the Brijuni National Park, established in 1983.
