2025-10-09 10:22
On October 4, 2025, students from the Polish campus of KMU visited Wroclaw Zoo β€” the largest and oldest zoo in Poland. It is considered one of the most fascinating zoos in Europe: over 33 hectares, it is home to more than 12,000 animals from around the world 🌎. We were greeted by proud lions 🦁, mighty elephants 🐘, graceful tigers πŸ…, majestic giraffes πŸ¦’, massive rhinoceroses 🦏, curious llamas πŸ¦™, and countless other exotic animals and birds 🦜.

The huge three-level terrarium was a separate adventure. On the lower floors, we observed reptiles and amphibians 🐒🐍🦎. On the third floor β€” a real β€œgreenhouse” filled with live tropical butterflies πŸ¦‹. Nearby is the aquarium, where we could see colorful fish, coral reefs, and other aquatic wonders 🐑🐟🐠.

But the true heart of the trip was the Africarium β€” a unique oceanarium dedicated exclusively to African ecosystems πŸŒΏπŸ’πŸ¦›. The Africarium features 21 pools and aquariums, housing over 350 species of fish and aquatic animals 🐟🦈🐑. We literally β€œwalked under the water” through a special glass tunnel (18 meters long), watching sharks 🦈, rays 🐑, stunning coral fish 🐟, and other sea creatures swimming all around us 🌊🐠. Immersion in the Congo jungle πŸ’πŸŒ΄, the colorful world of cichlids from Lake Tanganyika and Malawi, coral reefs of the Red Sea 🐟🌊, and even observing hippos πŸ¦› underwater β€” all of this turned the visit into a real journey to another continent 🌍✨.

The trip became a unique lesson in expanding horizonsπŸ’«, emotional enrichment, and new discoveries! It was a day that filled us with energy ⚑, inspired us to explore the world 🌟, and will leave a vivid mark in our memories forever πŸš€πŸ’–!
