Baku Zoo (Azerbaijani: Bakı zooloji parkı) is a state zoo in Baku. It is the oldest zoo in Azerbaijan.[1] When it opened in 1928, it was in Lunacharski Park.[2] In 1942 it was moved to its present location.[2] It belongs to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan and to the Municipality of Baku city. The total area of the zoo is 4.25 hectares (10.5 acres).[3] The zoo is currently home to over 1,200 animals. There are over 160 species.[4] It will soon be replaced by a new zoo near Güzdək on the Absheron Peninsula.[5] The new larger zoo will house the animals in their natural surroundings.[5]
