Escaping tigers excepted, this is one of Romania's better zoos, and is very popular with locals at weekends. In a lovely forest setting on the Dumbrava road, around a large lake, there are almost 200 animals to admire, and that's not including the birds and reptiles. There are a number of species indigenous to Romania, including wild boar, deer, stag and bears. There are also jaguars, and one less tiger than there used to be.
