Elephants at the Zoo

A Historic European Zoo

This zoological garden opened in the late 19th century and remains one of the oldest zoos in Europe, blending Art Nouveau architecture with modern wildlife habitats across a leafy city park district.

Life in the Elephant Yard

The enclosure gives the herd room to roam over open ground scattered with boulders, climbing posts, and shade trees, recreating elements of a natural savanna within an urban setting.

A Window into Daily Care

Keepers use the yard for enrichment activities and social interaction among the herd, and the camera offers a continuous look at how a modern zoo cares for its largest residents.
