Mykhailo Pinchuk takes a short walk around his empty zoo, greeting some animals with a stroke and a morsel of food.
A white lioness growls in her enclosure, as an employee looks on, at an empty private zoo called"12 Months" in the town of Demydiv, Ukraine May 8, 2020. The private zoo, which closed its doors to visitors during Ukraine's novel coronavirus lockdown, has almost run out of money and can barely cover utility bills to maintain conditions for its animals.

“Even hoofed animals ... rush to me when I am walking past their enclosures. They stretch their necks through the holes in the fence to see who is coming, and to ask you to come closer and give them some food,” he said. Zookeepers have had to adjust the animals’ diet. Dozens of big cats are being fed with chicken, rather than more expensive pork or beef, and apples have replaced mangoes and pineapples for the monkeys.
