Answer 1

Говорят, что первые экзотические животные были привезены в Британию в 13 веке, когда король Генри тритий получил в подарок леопардов и слонов. Эти животные жили в Тауэре во дворце. Позже Король Норвегии подарил Генри третьему полярного медведя. Этот медведь, будучи привязанным длинной веревкой, обожал ловить рыбу в реке Темза. 500 лет спустя Королева Шарлотта получила в подарок зебру, впервые ввезенную в Британию. Она держала ее возле Букингемского дворца. Любопытные горожане приходили на нее посмотреть. В 1839 году в Лондонском зоопарке появились четыре зебры, привлекающие всеобщее внимание. Вскоре жирафы были перевезены в Регент Парк. На протяжении пяти лет появилось на свет шесть детенышей жирафа. На сегодняшний день в Лондонском зоопарке можно увидеть много сотен экзотических животных.  

Answer 2

London Zoo has a rich history of housing exotic animals, dating back to the thirteenth century. It is said that King Henry III was gifted leopards and elephants, which were the first exotic animals to be brought to Britain. These animals resided in the Tower of London, where they were kept in a designated area.

In addition to the leopards and elephants, King Henry III received a polar bear as a gift from the King of Norway. This polar bear became quite popular as it enjoyed fishing in the Thames, with a long rope attached to it. This spectacle attracted many onlookers and became a notable feature during that time.

Moving forward in history, Queen Charlotte received the first zebra to arrive in Britain. She kept it near Buckingham House, and people from all around would come to see this unique creature. It sparked curiosity and fascination among the public.

Giraffes have also been a major attraction at London Zoo since 1839 when four of them arrived. Initially housed in Regent's Park, one female giraffe gave birth to six babies within a span of five years, adding to the growing population of these majestic creatures.

Today, London Zoo boasts a diverse collection of exotic animals, numbering in the thousands. It has become a renowned destination for animal enthusiasts and visitors who wish to witness the beauty and wonder of these creatures up close. The zoo continues to play a vital role in conservation efforts and educating the public about wildlife and their habitats.
