House of Evolution
New, state-of-the-art premises for over 200 animals.
This house reveals the course of evolution, using wildlife from West Africa as an example. This brand new, state-of-the-art facility has become home to over 200 animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles and Sarcopterygii fish, as well as some invertebrates.
The rainforest atmosphere is highlighted by the rich vegetation, the gurgling waterfall and a pond with a capacity of 30,000 litres. Animals can be observed from different places. The upper floor affords a view of the primates from the canopy layer, where the animals largely reside during the daytime. The outdoor terrace looks out onto the nearby enclosure for African hoofed mammals.
