Hannover Zoo
(Redirected from Hannover-Zoo)
Hannover Zoo is one of the top zoos in Germany with a number of unique highlights, for example:
- Sambezi: Visitors travel with small boats for about 15 minutes along an artificial African river with a trading post. The animals (giraffes, rhinoceros, turtles, birds etc.) are grazing on the banks or swimming in the water. One should not get out of the boat on to the river bank, since at this enclosure there are no fences between you and the animals.
- Jungle Palace: Elephants etc. live among Indian-style palace buildings. Elephant shows several times a day. Two baby elephants were born here in 2003
- Meyers Farm: Traditional farm house with farm yard, farm animals, restaurant etc. Children can play with some of the animals.
- Gorilla Mountain: Various apes live on a big hill. Again no visible fences (water-filled trenches between you and the gorillas).
Future expansion plans include Yukon Bay (Alaska landscape with seals etc.).
