Zoo Berlin 2004 - Historic Antelope and Giraffe House

August 2004

Historic Antelope and Giraffe House. In the background you can see some Defassa Waterbuck.

Berlin Zoo, one of my all-time world zoo destinations. Someday.

That's got to be the grandest and most unique looking giraffe house that I know of at least.

It is, a true eye-candy for the zoo historian! I don't know how suitable it is for animal care, but for me it is amazing to see.

Its not bad for the giraffes, altough the outdoor paddock is a little bit too smalll for a breeding group.It would be senseful to keep a bachlor group in the zoo and a breeding group in the Tierpark. Indoors, they made the stables much bigger for the giraffes and they do have now a little indoor exhibit.
