Frankfurt Zoo
Frankfurt Zoo is the second oldest zoological park in Germany. It was created in 1858 by a citizensʼ initiative. Originally, the zoo was located in the Leer Gardens in the West until it was moved to its current location, the Pfingstweiden, in 1874. After World War I, the city of Frankfurt took over the zoo. The zoological park was almost completely destroyed during World War II and was rebuilt after the war with a great deal of support by the zoologist Bernhard Grzimek, who was able to raise the necessary funds.
Today, Frankfurt Zoo is one of the most visited zoos in Europe. Around 4,500 animals and 450 species inhabit the exhibition halls and open enclosures.The Exotarium, the Cat Jungle, the Borgori Forest, and the Nocturnal Animal Exhibit are particularly noteworthy (OR remarkable). In the Nocturnal Animal Exhibit, the animals are awake during the day due to an artificial time shift and can be observed by the visitors.
