went there in August as part of a small trip to Cologne, Germany. On the way we wanted to look at us like the Zoo Duisburg, because we had heard that there should be a very special animal that is rarely encountered here in zoos. But more on that later.
We went very early start in the morning, the zoo opened at 9 clock and there we wanted to continue, it offered itself to be on time.
One can not really miss the zoo, once one is reached on the A3 ....
The bridge is the transition between the two sides of the Duisburg Zoo. From the outside have been interesting to see the transition within the greens even more beautiful. The fact that everything is planted really close and beautiful, you get surprisingly little noise from the highway.
to provide enough parking spaces you have to make the way, no thought, as some are available. A short walk and it has already arrived at the checkout. Unfortunately we had not made it entirely, to be on time at 9:00 clock there, so were the queues at the checkout rather long. It took almost 30 minutes until we finally arrived at the zoo. The entrance fee is quite cheap at 11 €, including but not attending the Dolphinarium. Who wants to look at the Dolphinarium, is charged 14,50 € - we did not but were utilized
from this zoo, we have little pictures that show the complete enclosure of the animals. Since we had bought a new lens for our camera (Canon EF-S 4,0-5,6 / 55-250 IS), we were this time more on close-out. But we can sum up almost all enclosure that was taken to allow the animals a decent life in the zoo. Only a few cats were once again left behind. Seems to pull through the zoo.
Our tour started at the giraffes:
The turtles were the sun - until only few ....
... then obviously it was a mass event to the tank let it dry!
The elephants were not the case today in photo mood - a picture we got at least from the front:
After they had performed due to the keen interest seems to have the trunk and we just got this view:
past the zoo ....
... and the savannah, which, as in Emmen, houses more animals and has a considerable size:
Then we came to one of the highlights of our visit: the seals and sea lions. Here we spent the most time and could hardly see enough of the game animals. Very funny way, is that when the sea lions is a sign that the animals had nothing happens when you let yourself fall into the ditch, and the nurses would not be informed. The animals walk it well.
background to this sign is that the sea lions to their swimming area around still have a ditch. There can be fooled by the animals like monkeys and swim in a pace to a small staircase, which they can leave the ditch again. These look good but some visitors and do not think the sea lion crash and could free themselves again. lack
the seal it did not appear to have enough food ...
... and not at ease, since the visitor winked nice:
Anyway, this zoo, the animals all seem very concerned about politeness - this monkey put on his best smile when we wanted to shoot him:
The meerkats sit nice for our image in pose:
Now we came to the specificity of the zoo. There are, unique in Germany, Koala bears. Specifically for this new koala house was built, which was very well attended. However, we could some pictures of cute button eyes grab. Recently there was the way young, as can be seen on one of the pictures:
We were then still on the beautifully designed bridge on the opposite side of the zoo, but had not much time we re watching, because we had to leave towards the hotel in Cologne. In addition, there start the Dolphin Show in a few minutes and it was incredibly crowded on this side of the plant.
The zoo has us really well fallen, deductions, there are (again) for the enclosure of the big cats.
