Ruhr Zoo
Submitted by The Zookeeper (Last visited: April 2002)
Although most parts of this zoo are old-fashioned - especially the chimps - the Ruhr Zoo is modernising itself into a "world of discovery". In March 2002 the first part of "ZOOM" was opened. The large enclosures now house the tiger and hyenas.
Despite being an older zoo, there are many, various animals to see and, by the number of young animals, Ruhr Zoo obviously has a good success rate of breeding. Check out Antonia - a dwarf polar bear!
