Text
suggestion for a short description of the zoo
All texts at Zoo-Infos.org are written independently by our editors.
Thus, catchwords are sufficient. Please give details on the
animal collection (rare specimen, breeding successes), on conservation
efforts, special features and on the history of the park.
