🔥 At night in Yevpatoria, Tropic Park, located in an old amusement park on the street, burned down.

“Tropic Park” is a five-story zoo in Yevpatoria, Crimea, where a huge number of different exotic animals lived.

Unfortunately, the animals could not be saved. The zoo burned to the ground, leaving only the metal frame.

As far as we know, this area has long been eyed for commercial development. The zoo was self-sufficient.

UPD
They saved a woman (apparently a watchman) and two bears.

According to a zoo representative, the preliminary cause of the fire was a short circuit in the refrigerator wiring.

The zoo housed more than 200 species of primates, reptiles, amphibians, birds and other animals. There was also a shelter for stray dogs there. More than a hundred animals were burned alive.
