Identification of Animals and Plants
Identification plaques are provided for the animals and plants, but if you want more detailed information, feel free to ask theanimators in the Pavilion. The remains can be examinedthrough various themes, such as: diet, size, skin covering, intelligence, leg structure, antlers-horns-tusks...

Some of the skulls, bones, and skins on display belonged toformer zoo residents, while others were donated to us as gifts. After their passing, these relics were preserved for educationalpurposes, allowing you to explore them up close today.

The collection pieces can be touched and their surfacesstroked, and under supervision, some can even be held inyour hands.
On the table, arranged in order of diet from right to left, wefirst encounter herbivores. Starting with the giraffe, variousparts are displayed (skull, neck vertebrae, tail hair...), and aswe move leftward, we can compare the Nile hippopotamuswith the pygmy hippopotamus, observe wild boar and camelspecimens, and examine the teeth of the world's largest rodent. Finally, we encounter an omnivore and then a predator.

Finally, the foundation of the food chain is represented: plants. With two acacia tree stumps, we can get to know trees, as wellas examine the main ingredients of animal feed. If that isn’tenough, we can face ourselves through the help of Karl, thedisplayed model skeleton.
Of course, there will also be plenty of arthropods and reptiles. On the interactive play table, we can touch exoskeletons and snake skins.

Here is the true treasure trove of experiences, where all of oursenses can finally be activated! You can touch everything, smell everything, and see everything! Get ready, set, touch!
