Giant Otters in the Budapest Zoo

​From September on the visitors of Budapest Zoo can observe a new, special species, which was never seen there before. On September 10th rare giant otters have arrived to the Zoo. There are three of them, and they have received their own place behind the Palm house (Pálmaház).

The leaders of the city follow a concept of systematic development, where the prior aim is to preserve the values of the past and to introduce modern professional guidelines through presenting the nature with a scientific approach, said Deputy Mayor Tamás Szentes during the inauguration ceremony. This year’s number of visitors is expected to exceed one million again, and with that the institution will not only keep its first place among the most popular cultural and touristic sites in Hungary, but it will also be able to further develop, added the Deputy Mayor.
