Zoo Director Rescues Residents from Snakes in Soviynyon
25 June 2025
Igor Belyakov, the director of the Odessa Zoo, has once again caught a snake in the courtyard of a residential building, this time in Soviynyon.
He shared the news on his Facebook page.
“People from Soviynyon called. Another snake in the yard. Yellow-bellied snake, listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, non-venomous and very beautiful,” wrote the zoo director.
He also reminded everyone of his phone number – 068 140 45 39, where anyone needing assistance, especially with snake catching, can reach him.
It is worth noting that Igor Belyakov has gone on “snake hunts” many times, rescuing both residents of Odessa and nearby villages from snakes, which many find terrifying.
