Thanks for your review of Magdeburg, a zoo that I've never visited but would love to one day. Curiously, the zoo receives around 330,000 annual...
For the past 10 years Magdeburg has been the 1st stop next to Berlin as far as Zoochatters are concerned. But sadly for us the days of endless...
This is just a bit of fun to judge the general consensus on the best enclosure for Asian Elephants in Germany. I have added a few photos from the...
This is most certainly correct; the animals were imported by Todd Dalton (formerly of RSCC) for his private collection and later sent to Exmoor....
The next stop on my journey: Memphis Zoo. I had a great time at this zoo, but found this to be the least impressive so far. I have seen many...

When will it be ready ?
The Hannover zoo announced that they are expanding their elephant exhibit and it is set to open in 2025...
I think I agree with most of what you wrote on the Berlins and I am with you in placing Cologne ahead of the Zoo (though I would place Cologne...
Day 8&9 The plan was to visit the Pergamon Museum on Day 8. However this was scuppered as the museum apparently closer earlier than planned due...
Zootierliste (ZTL) is perhaps my favourite website on the planet along with this one. A free database listing every species or subspecies housed...
Hannover cant breed with their existing group anymore because the females in breeding age are Borneo elephants (or hybrids) and the EEP has...
I still don't quite understand their open admission it's a Giraffatitan, while continuing to call it Brachiosaurus. I've very much enjoyed these...
So does this mean they are going to have an active breeding herd again? If I remember right some of their cows are hybrid and a couple are from...
