Histórico
Prague Zoological Garden is a zoo in Prague, Czech Republic. It was opened in 1931 with the goal to "advance the study of zoology, protect wildlife, and educate the public" in the district of Troja in the north of Prague. The zoo has contributed significantly to saving Przewalski's horse; for many years in the leading breeder of the subspecies.
The idea for a zoological garden in Prague was first proposed in 1881 in a newspaper article by Count Sweets-Spork, on the occasion of the marriage of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and Princess Stéphanie of Belgium. In 1919, at a meeting of the advisory board for mathematics and natural sciences at the Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment, a committee was established to start the preparatory work on the establishment of the zoo. The zoo was opened to the public on 28th September 1931 by the founding director Jiří Janda
