The Russian government included zoos along with museums in the list of industries most affected by coronavirus. Several zoos manage to operate online and you are invited to admire animals without leaving home. Videos are really informative and you will never get bored.
Yekaterinburg Zoo
Employees of the zoo in Yekaterinburg actively involve both Instagram and YouTube. Here you can find recordings of feedings of animals, video acquaintances with pets and mini-tours of the zoo. Every day in the morning some kind of relaxation video awaits you, such as feeding the fish; and during the day, live broadcasts with stories about animals are shown. The schedule of live broadcasts is on the Instagram account page.
Izhevsk Zoo
Every Thursday, the Izhevsk Zoo broadcasts morning exercises with the clown Krendel from the monkey pavilion - chimpanzees like energetic music too, so the clown does not exercise alone. A flash mob has also been announced on social networks of the zoo - followers are encouraged to record and upload videos with songs and other performances dedicated to the anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War in order to create their own online gala concert on May 9th. You should look for content on Instagram and YouTube.
Samara Zoo
On the website and VKontakte group of the Samara Zoo, for the time of self-isolation, they launched a special video section “While everyone is at home”, where employees familiarize the audience with the pets of the zoo, talk about their habits and behavior. You can find demonstrative animal feeds on Instagram.
Moscow Zoo
The Moscow Zoo broadcasts video from cameras installed in pandas and primates aviaries, and actively develops its YouTube channel, where you can watch demonstrative animal feeds, listen to stories about the inhabitants of the zoo and even see the performances of the actors of the Zoo Theater.
