Review:
The Leipzig Zoo is known as the 'zoo of the future'. It was established in 1878 and occupies 67 acres of which 4 acres is indoor rain forest. The zoo provides an overview of the world's animal kingdom, from prehistory to modern day. The animals and their habitats can be viewed from below, above and at eye level, through jungle trails, treetop pathways and on the water. The interactive ark stimulates all the senses. There are 850 animal species in total, including cats and bears of the world, reptiles in a terrarium, birds, bees and monkeys on their own island. The koalas live in an indoor eucalyptus forest.
