Right in the middle of the zoo, we are building our next major habitat: the Pantanal Wetland. It will set new standards in animal care and is linked to the Pantanal nature conservation project in Brazil.
Flocks of birds in the sky. Dense gallery forests, interspersed with flooded grasslands. A waterfall splashes... Welcome to the Pantanal Wetlands exhibit at the zoo!
Birds in flight, tapirs grazing: in the Pantanal Wetlands, the animals share one common habitat.
Water is a central element in the Pantanal Wetlands – both in nature and in our planned habitat.
Up high: an observation tower brings you closer to the flocks of birds in flight.
Spotting animals amid dense greenery is also part of the Pantanal Wetlands experience.
Wet feet: the Pantanal Wetlands are regularly flooded, just as they are in nature. Visualisations: Region Five Media
An Endangered Natural Gem
The South American Pantanal is one of the largest wetlands in the world—about six times the size of Switzerland. Its landscape changes completely from the dry season to the rainy season: During the rainy months, large parts of the area are flooded. It thus provides a vital habitat for countless animals and plants. This unique landscape and many of the animal species living there are seriously threatened by ongoing destruction.
