About this audio guide
This guide to the Sofia Zoo goes back to the last weekend of August two thousand fourteen, when the oldest zoo in the Balkans shut its gates and its grazing animals began to die. It follows director Ivan Ivanov, mayor Yordanka Fandakova and the investigators racing to name a cause. Best heard on the path toward the paddocks of camels and wild cattle.
