The Skopje Zoo (Macedonian: Зоолошка градина Скопје) was founded in 1926 by a commission consisted of three members, led by Stanko Karaman. That same year, today's location was chosen, which at that time was only 4 ha big, and the zoo had only a few animals which it had received as a gift. With a decision by the Skopje city council in 1965, and the new town zoning in 1966, the zoo got it's current look.
Today, the zoo is located on 96,894 m², and has 503 animals, of which: 261 birds of 36 species, 226 mammals of 42 species and 16 reptiles of 8 species.
