Tierpark Hagenbeck

Today my host mom and I went to the Tierpark Hagenbeck, a private zoo. It was started by the Hagenbeck family in the mid-1800's and was among the first to use systematic landscaping instead of cages to hold its animals. Today we visited the Tropen-Aquarium, an indoor inclosure with birds, reptiles, fish, insects, and...lemurs. I didn't quite understand how they fit in there, but they were pretty cute, nonetheless. Here are a few animals I saw:

Chameleon - das Chamäleon

sting ray - der Stachelrochen

snake - die Schlange

The trainers would lure these guys into peoples' laps with carrots.

lemur - der Lemur/der Maki

Wie süß!

crocodile - das Krokodil

And the cries of "Nemo!" were numerous

lizard - die Eidesche

fish - der Fisch

That fish that can go on land and water - evolution!
