Poznan New Zoo

After have been paying the entrance fee we turn right and go in to the childrens zoo, with goars, donkeys, pigs and shetland ponys to mention a few. Kids will love to pet them. Now turning right we have a pheasantry with peacocks, phesants and tragopans. Then we have an Australian area with the eastern grey kangaroo and emus.  Now looking at the zoos more rare animals, like the Negros warty pig  and the Alfreds deer. Following the road we now look at the  rare european otters, the southern white rhino and the davids deer. The last animal on the route is the Wisent, the only remaining wild ox of Europe - saved in the last minute and now living freely in the big foreste of Poland. This big zoo is also home for some real small creatures, the smallest are comming now - the Insects and spiders. The zoo also has a good collection of birds of prey and owls - like the kites and the Greater Spotted Eagle. Among them there is a house for rodents, the main prey for most of the birds of prey and carnivores. The Carnivores, especially cats are comming now, but also other smaller canivores like the bat-eared fox and the marbled polecat. Passing the Axis deer and the Nilgai we turn left at the Thomsons gazelle - a species rarely shown in zoos. First we look at the siatunga and across we finde the Pudu, the smalest real deer. Next door are the Vietnamese Sika deer. Now we look at the seal pool and the follow a big house, one of the few to enter. Here we finde the noctural animals, like the vampire bat and the feathertail glider. Outside again we meet the cute prairie dog and follow the road on to the aviarys for lemurs. Next to the we finde other birds of prey. Now we have reached the lake area, one of the most beautyfull areas of any zoo in the world, home for pelicans, flamingos and lots of ducks and geeses. The first real enclosures we meet are the savannahs, one for giraffes and another for Grevy zebras. Following the lakes on the left side we then meet a butterfly pavillion. Soon after the fun Japanese macaques. Then when we can we turn right and look at the rare European ground squirrel, that the zoo breeds. Across we finde the Bactrian Camel and then the African Elephant. Outside of the Elephant house we have some aviarys for owls and other birds like the Eurasian Stone-curlew. Following the road we first meet the Amur tiger and then the North American Bison, that once where grassing in millions on the prairie. The last area we are looking at the South American Area, withe the giant ant eater, soider monkeys and tapirs.
