The beginning of the zoo was marked by a bear, a monkey, and a parrot, who were the first residents of this magical place. With an area of 15 hectares, of which 10 hectares are cultivated park space, Palic provides a pleasant and natural atmosphere for all visitors.
The basic activity of the institution is:

Endangered species protection
The zoo houses around 160 animal species and approximately 450 specimens, showcasing the diversity of fauna within it. These varying animal species are placed in forty different enclosures, cages or habitats.
