In the German city of Hamburg, the zoo is unique - it was here that for the first time in the world natural conditions were created for captive animals. Birds and animals got their use of trees and rocks, lakes and waterfalls, and it became much more interesting for visitors to watch them.
The zoo in Hamburg was founded by Karl Hagenbeck, a scientist and trainer engaged in the breeding and sale of wild animals. His name appears at the entrance to an amazing corner of nature in the heart of a modern city.

At the entrance, visitors are greeted by a magnificent aquarium with a variety of aquatic inhabitants, and the entire area of the zoo is almost 25 hectares. During a walk through its territory, visitors will have to walk at least 7 km along paths and paths and get acquainted with more than two hundred species of animals and birds.
Pride and Legends
In 1976, a Pacific walrus named Antje appeared at the Hagenbeck Zoo. In 1983 he became a symbol of the German television NDR and his image graced the screens until 2001. After Antje's death, walruses purchased at the Moscow Zoo became his successors.
