Moscow zoo is one of the biggest and oldest zoos of Russia.

It was founded in 1864. One of its founders was professor of Moscow University Anatoly Petrovich Bogdanov. He called the park “living museum”.

Now there are more than 1000 species of animals in its collection. 

The zoo takes part in international programs on keeping and breeding of

rare species of animals, and exchanges of animals with many zoos of the world. There is “Children’s zoo” on the territory of the zoo, where you can see

characters from children’s fairy tales.

I think, that M.V.Lomonosov was a great scientist, because he made discoveries in different sciences, for example physics, chemistry, literature, geography, geology. He founded the first chemical laboratory in Russia, Moscow University, which was named after him. Yesterday we celebrated Lomonosov’s 300th anniversary. I took part in the quiz in geography classroom. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about Lomonosov. He descrabed the North Sea Route. He designed a device to measure  atmospheric pressure.

My favourite colour is blue. I have chosen these photos because I like them. I like swimming in the sea and the sky is beautiful.
