The Bitola Zoo, is a zoo in Bitola, North Macedonia. It was founded on 1 May 1950 with the help of zoos in Skopje, Zagreb, Belgrade and Subotica.
The Bitola zoo plays a significant role in the sphere of social living, especially in the sector of education as well as the protection of certain animal species. Ever since its establishment as an institution in 1950, the zoo has been constantly improving the conditions in order to meet European standards, but these standards have not yet been met. In 2004, a number of activities have started, aimed at improving the conditions in which the animals live and raising the educational character of the zoo.
