Free Photos of the Leipzig Zoo in Leipzig, Germany
Host of the World Association of Zoos & Aquariums (WAZA) Conference - August 2006

Founded in 1878 by Ernst Pinkert, Leipzig Zoo is one of the most important Zoological Gardens in Europe and at the same time one of the most popular recreational areas in Leipzig. It is world-famous for the successful rearing of threatened species.

Leipzig Zoo, which is only a few minutes away from the city centre, is facing towards the future with the goal to create the "zoo of the future". The core principles employed in achieving this goal involve providing animal care appropriate to each species and giving the visitor the chance to observe these animals in their natural environments.

By creating animal enclosures resembling the animals' natural environment and which are appropriate for each species, a visit to the zoo becomes an adventure safari with exciting animal encounters. "Pongoland", the world's largest zoo facility for anthropoids, the sloth bear gorge, "Makasi Simba" the lions' savannah, a Tiger's taiga, an African savannah …, or the aquarium with its mysterious underwater world will leave every visitor astounded.
