The Zoological Garden in Sibiu is the first one in the country, opened in 1929 by the Electrical Company, at the initiative of a Hungarian engineer. The idea came to him after having found some foxes while working to repair the dam in a village near Sibiu.

After it was founded, the Zoo Garden in Sibiu received as donations several animals and birds – a wild cat, a she-wolf donated by Obert von Spiess on behalf of the king, a wolf donated by “Soimii” Association, an eagle, a Carpathian stag donated by the hunters in Talmacel, a wild boar and other animals. The first bear was donated in 1930.
