Vienna - Schönbrunn Zoo, Austria - 9th September 2012
By: Grinsekatze
Today I visit with my mum Grinsekatze and many friends:Carolin + Kara + Kathy + Melek + Pingi +Taja the world oldes Zoo in Schönbrunn.
Here you can read about it:
The World´s Oldest Zoo
Part of the imperial summer residence of Schönbrunn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world's oldest zoo is indeed an unforgettable experience, and one that no visitor to Vienna should miss. Along with the historic complexes of the former "menagerie" of Emperor Francis Stephen of Lorraine, visitors discover what is perhaps the world's most beautiful zoo in a unique setting where culture and nature blend. More than 500 animal species, some of them threatened, have found a home here and a chance for survival as a species.
From A as in anteater to Z as in zebra: A visit to the Schönbrunn Zoo is a tour through every continent in the fascinating world of animals. See giant pandas, Siberian tigers, orangutans, and elephants, or immerse yourself in the Amazon and experience the tropical rain forest. A visit to the zoo offers young and old alike an enjoyable vacation in an incomparable setting and interesting insights into our nature and species conservation work.
Modern zoos such as the Schönbrunn Zoo have become educational centers; they are showcases for teaching and research, and valuable partners for many nature and species conservation projects. Not only are the knowledge and experience of zoologists, veterinarians, and keepers available for such projects, but so are the threatened animal species that have been carefully bred in the scope of the international zoo network. With your admission fee, and more especially through your interest in the animals and the work of the zoo, you are supporting our efforts in nature and species conservation!

And here the photos:
We were at the Giant Pandas but they had played hide and seek and so we couldn`t see them.
But we were lucky. The artist Gottfried Kumpf has made a Giant Panda and so we could climb on it.
Have a look!

Anywhere, Australia - 22nd November 2012

I think she`s gone lost.
Her host wasn`t here since 12th September.
So it was perhaps a little present for her.
I`m very sad.
I didn`t get any answer....
