Animals from all over the world
Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg
Have you ever touched a live python? Well, you can at Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, where around 2,500 animals from all over the world live in a park that is also a listed site of historical interest. It's great to get up high enough to look giraffes straight in the eye and to watch baby orang-utans at play. Feeding time for the penguins and seals is also wonderful fun.

Zoo of the future
Zoo Leipzig
Water crashes down the waterfall beside the magnificent temple ruins and fallen columns. A big bull elephant takes a bath a few metres away and two young elephants romp happily about. Leipzig Zoo is a world full of mysteries for visitors to unravel. You're having such fun that you don't notice the information you're picking up as you go along, such as what size shoe a baby elephant would take and how these animals actually communicate.
