A zoo is under attack in Ukraine where Russia is continuing its invasion.
In Mykolaiv, Ukraine, the zoo animals are reportedly not getting enough food while the city is being shelled.
In a desperate bid to help, people from around the world have been purchasing zoo tickets on the zoo’s website to try and get money to the organization.
Facebook posts from the zoo show what appear to be shell projectiles that land on its grounds.
According to a Facebook post translated from Ukrainian, the Zoo is operating in “wartime mode.”
The zoo is closed to visitors, but its website is still operating and able to process payments.
The website is in Ukrainian, so if you’re interested in buying a ticket to help, The cost is from 25 to 100 hryvnias.
Even though they’re under attack, the Ukrainians at the zoo seem to have a good sense of humour about what’s happening to them.
Mykolaiv Zoo holds the largest collection of wild animals in Ukraine, and has an arboretum with more than 200 species of unique plants from around the world. It is also home to "Ukrainian Safari", the only large-scale exhibition complex for big animals in our country. The zoo is a shelter for 66 species of mammals, 85 species of rare animals, five species of large cats, 15 species of primates and more. It should not be forgotten that the "Park of XII Months" in the Kyiv region is also in a critical situation.
Mykolaiv, a southern city, has reportedly been under attack for days.
