The Sóstó Zoo has a lot to offer to the visitors. There are many different species represented in this zoo so everybody can meet his/her favourite animal.

Tigers always look majestetic

White tigers are very rare but you can see them in this zoo.

King Lion knows he’s the ruler! Being a king can be quite exhausting sometimes so he looks a bit tired. 🙂

The cougar couple has lovely kittens.

The red panda is even called cat panda and it’s easy to understand why. The face is very ‘cat like’.

This cute hippo baby must steal every visitor’s heart!

I’m very happy knowing that the Kodiak bear Taquka and the brown bear Ben are living together in this zoo. As you may remember they both came here from Orsa.

Fiete had a miserable stay in Budapest but luckily he could come back to the Sóstó Zoo.

  1. Hello Gerti and Ingo,

    How nice to receive photos and information from Sóstó Zoo in Hungary, where our beloved Fiete is now feeling very much at home again after his unfortunate stay in Budapest!
    We are also pleased to learn that two of the brown bears from Orsa have found a new home here.

    I can’t identify the cougar species, although they are somewhat similar to the puma. The other residents look happy and are also very pretty.

    Many thanks and best wishes!

  2. Dear Gerti and Ingo!
    Thank you for the beautiful pictures from Hungary!
    Cats of prey and their children are among the most attractive animals a zoo can show. The ones shown here all look wonderful, healthy and lively.
    The little roll of flab on the hippos is as cute as you could wish for.
    It definitely speaks in favour of this zoo that Fiete has recovered so well after his ordeal in Budapest! How good that brown bears from Orsa have also found a home here!
    I wish all the animals there health, happiness and loving care!

    Hugs
    Anke

  3. Vielen Dank für die schönen und beeindruckenden Fotogrüße aus dem Zoo Sóstó!!👍👌
    Den Tieren scheint es dort gut zu gehen! Es freut mich sehr, dass nicht nur Fiete und Lloyd,sondern auch die beiden Braunbären aus Orsa, dort einen Platz bekommen haben !!🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻🐻😊
    Das zweite Foto von Fiete erinnert mich sehr an seinen Halbbruder Knut, von dem ich etliche Fotos in dieser Sitzpose habe…🐻‍❄️ ( Knut war so etwas wie der ‘Dalai Lama’ unter den Eisbären…💝💖)
