A frustrated animal scratching the wall is a lion gifted by Russia to North Korea.
Two brown bears, each weighing about 200kg, were also flown from Moscow to Pyongyang.
In total, Russia sent 75 animals to North Korea, including yaks, white parrots, pheasants, and mandarin ducks.
Russia's Minister of Natural Resources, who transported the animals to Pyongyang, emphasized that these gifts from President Putin are a sign of support and friendship for the comrades of North Korea.
[Alexander Kozlov/Russian Minister of Natural Resources: "The animals we gifted today are capable of breeding. They are young and are exactly the animals that the Pyongyang Zoo really needs."]
North Korea and Russia have been increasingly exchanging animals this year to strengthen their ties.
In April, Russian eagles and cranes were donated to North Korea, and during President Putin's visit to North Korea in June, Chairman Kim Jong-un presented a pair of Pungsan dogs.

Russia has also exported 24 horses of the white breed favored by the Kim family to North Korea.
With this animal diplomacy, economic cooperation is expected to strengthen, and the two countries have agreed to increase the number of charter flights.
The Russian side stated that they plan to enhance cooperation and exchanges in various fields, including sports and culture, and that a Russian language education center will be established in Pyongyang.
