Ashgabat Zoo

The National Museum of Wildlife (Turkmen: Janly tebigatyň milli muzeýi), commonly known in English as Ashgabat Zoo (Turkmen: Aşgabat haýwanat bagy), is a zoological garden—zoo—located in the locality of Gökdere, Gökdepe District, Ahal Region, Turkmenistan, just west of the capital Ashgabat.

[3] During its opening day, visitors complained about the lack of shade or water provided for the animals.

An employee at the zoo told the Institute for War and Peace Reporting that there were "temporary difficulties" due to a nearby construction site consuming much of the available water.

[3] In July 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ashgabat Zoo limited its activities to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

[6] Excluding the indoor aquarium, the enclosures are divided into four zones—African savannah, predators, ungulates, and aviary.
