Очень понравилось выступление нерп! Они настоящие артисты! Очень жаль, что нельзя фотографировать и снимать в нерпинарии. Всем рекомендую! more »

Really liked the statement seals! They are true artists! It is a pity that you cannot take pictures and shoot in nerpinarii. All recommend!

какие же замечательные эти животные. Глазки чёрные, мордочки умные. Выполняют трюки, танцуют, рисуют, целуются. Так мило. Жаль, что человек - их единственный враг в естественной среде. more »

What wonderful these animals. Eyes black, smart faces. Perform stunts, dance, draw, Kiss. So cute. It's a pity that people-their only enemy in natural Wednesday.

Очень понравилось представление! Одно оказалось жаль - низзя фотографировать и снимать на видео... Зато на аукционе удалось приобрести памятный сувенир - картину, написанную нерпой! more »

Really enjoyed your presentation! One turned out to be too bad-nizzja photograph and shoot video. But the auction had managed to purchase a souvenir-a picture painted seal!

I'm never sure why animals are housed (trapped?) in such cramped conditions, particularly when adjacent to their natural habitat. This place, like the rest of Listvyanka, is a dirty, touristy hole. Avoid.
