Introduction

Leipzig Zoo is home to many rare animals, allowing visitors to experience harmony between humans and nature. You can see Baikal seals basking in the sun, musk deer observing visitors with interest, and meerkats running around happily. The animals' living environments are designed to be as close to nature as possible. Four species of primates live in the world's largest primate park, while giraffes, antelopes, ostriches, and zebras inhabit the Kilimanjaro Savannah, with their "neighbors" being fierce African wild dogs and Angolan lions. The Gondwanaland, the largest tropical rainforest exhibition in Europe within the zoo, is a must-see. Covering an area of 2.7 hectares, it showcases rainforest landscapes from Asia, Africa, and South America. The glass-roofed hall, with a steel frame, covers an area of 16,500 square meters and is home to over 40 animal species and 500 plant species. The temperature in the hall is maintained at 26-28 degrees Celsius, with about 80% humidity. It vividly portrays the era of the ancient supercontinent connecting Asia, Africa, and South America. The aquarium, with over a hundred years of history, is a great destination for aquatic animal enthusiasts, offering stunning underwater views. Notably, the aquarium has a capacity of 35,000 liters and is one of the largest in Germany, featuring display tanks, animal enclosures, and panoramic shark tanks.
