Предисловие Центральный зоопарк Кореи расположен в окрестности Пхеньяна – столицы КНДР, у подножия живописной горы Тэсон. 50 лет тому назад в этом парке было всего лишь несколько голов барсуков, но сегодня он превратился в редкостный зоопарк, где можно познакомиться с многочисленными видами редкостных зверей, обитающих на пяти континентах мира. В нем находятся многочисленные подарочные животные, преподнесенные Президенту Ким Ир Сену и руководителю Ким Чен Иру президентами разных стран мира, их видными политическими и общественными деятелями, приверженцами идей чучхе, учеными-зоологами, обыкновенными предпринимателями, соотечественниками, проживающими за рубежом. Настоящая книга знакомит читателей с историей о подарочных животных, присланных Ким Ир Сену и Ким Чен Иру из разных стран мира, а также с экологическими особенностями этих животных, интересными элементарными знаниями и эпизодами, связанными с миром животных.
