Wildlife of Gatchina Parks

The Gatchina parks are famous not only for its architectural and historical structures, but also for its unparalleled natural beauty. The variety of animals and plants here is amazing. The most common animals living in the park are squirrels, moles, field mice, bats and water birds. Just a few words about each of those.

Visitors to the park enjoy watching quick, red-haired animals that can take food right from your hand. Of course, these are regular squirrels.
