Besides dinosaurs, Dinopark has animals that are not extinct, for example, this huge crocodile, which is 3.5 meters (10 feet) long.

Even Ufa, the capital of Bashkiria, lacks a zoo, so the only place to see an elephant is here. In addition, on view at Dinopark are figures of bears, camels, gorillas, giraffes, lions, and other exotic animals.

All the dinosaurs have been recreated in accordance with latest scientific data. Dinopark is a more visual way to introduce children to the prehistoric world than a trip to a paleontological museum.
