      Dumb question I know, but are they mixed in here?
    • Maguari
      Yes, they are. I was there with zg - it was just starting to get dark so both species were active but photos difficult. Was quite happy with the attached shot though. :)

      Funny combination. Do they keep elephants and elephant shrews together too?
    • Tarsius
      They do not have elephants and elephant shrews at this Place, because its not a zoo, they have almots only european species.

      By they way, whats wrong with this species together ? I Japan, I've seen moose together with rheas.....

      What an interesting combo...
    • Pygathrix
      I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I suppose there is some logic in that they are both species which have been introduced into Europe and their ranges now overlap.

      You can probably see wild moose and rhea in New Zealand, they have got just about everything else there.

      BTW they keep many species of wild animals on public display, so I think I would call it a zoo even if they don't do so themselves.

      As a legal definition, i.e. "zoo" = an institution displaying animals all year long for the (paying) public, you are correct. In German (or should I say "Teutonic";)?) habitual language use, however, most people differ between a "Zoo/Tiergarten" (= an institution with focus on exotic animals, in particular exotic megafauna, and often within or close to a larger town/city) and a "Wildpark" ( = an institution with focus on native wildlife [usually also displaying some smaller exotics] that is often located in the countryside).
