Berlin Zoo

The Berlin Zoo was built as a gift to the city by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, and was first opened to the public in 1844. It occupies the southwest portion of the Tiergarten, a large public park in the center of Berlin.
As visitors enter the ZoologischerGarten through its Elephant or Lion Gates, they will have the opportunity to view more than 15,000 animals representing about 1,400 species in re-creations of their natural habitats.
