A bit of history
In the place of the zoo in Krasnoyarsk there was once a living corner. Here lived animals that suffered from communication with tourists. The founders of the corner managed to get support and help from the city authorities. In 1999, a decision was made to establish a zoo. It will be interesting to know where such an unusual name came from.
It was chosen by the residents themselves. A competition was announced for the best name for the zoo. The victory went to Roev Creek. These twowords are explained very simply. Near the zoo in Krasnoyarsk, a stream flows, where gold was once mined. And, consequently, they carried out various works with the earth, including digging. By combining two such meaningful words, the residents of the city gave the name to their favorite place.
