It is not only a zoo, but also a botanical garden. You can see a wide variety of different animals and plants there.

Pandas,penguins, seals and many other cute animals can bee seen in Berlin zoo. It has over 14, 000 animals to look at.

One of the most impressive zoo in the world. Much more to see than you can actually do..... Did I say " Pandas" ......?

Probably the best zoo of the Netherlands. Some great exhibits like Tamah Indah (elephants, tapirs, rhino's and others), The Oceanium and the ''Rivierahal''. Some great species like Komodo dragons, Francois langurs, puffins, amur leopards, rusty spotted cats and civets.

It's by far the best zoo I have ever been to. Opened just a few years ago and it houses only african animals, but WHAT a collection and a setting. When walking around the zoo you can almost forget that you are in the middle of a large european city and not in africa. There are no walls and cages, it's all wáter moats and glasses and has a fantastic collection of african flora. Don't miss the central savanna exibit, the crocodile and hippo cave and the lémur island!! Negative point: a bit expensive, but still worth it.

Opened in 1770 and moved to its current location in Madrid's largest park (Casa de Campo) in the 70s. The zoo has an impressive collection of animals, over 6,000 animals of more tan 500 species, including Giant Pandas, Koalas, Dolphins, Red Pandas, Orangutans, and Western Lowland Gorillas, as well asthe usual animals found in most zoos (elephants,lions, tigers, cheetahs, hyenas, hipos, indian rhinos, white rhinos, giraffes etc.). The aquarium boasts a huge collection, including a large tank with sharks. In 1978 China presented the King of Spain with two giant pandas, Shao Shao and Quian Quiang. Their cub, Chu-lin, born in 1982 died in 1996. Chu-lin was the first panda born in captivity using artificial insemination in Europe. The zoo is now home to giant pandas Bing Xing (M) and Hua Zui Ba (F), who arrived in Madrid on 8 September 2007 and their cubs born September 2010.

Slowly growing in the last 20 years, so not the biggest collection, but they're getting there. Very beautiful park and scenery.

It is best known for its reptile exhibits, which are displayed in a very unusual way, using cold barrier. Antwerpen zoo has over 950 different species of animals including quite a few very rare animals like white rhino.

This zoo has a remarkable amount of rare animals including Sumatra Tiger, Sri Lanka Leopard, Anteater, Black Vulture and many more.

It is, simply put, the best zoo in the United Kingdom

The Munich Zoo Hellabrunn was founded in 1911 as the first Geo-zoo worldwide. The animals live according to their geographic distribution in complex communities. If you follow the icons you will travel around the world and experience our different habitats. Hellabrunn is not a zoo in the classical sense. It is more of a nature preserve within the landscape conservation area of the Isar meadows inhabited by animals that live in especially large, structured enclosures. Thanks to an extensive array of ditches and a natural landscape design, the visitor can enjoy the wonderful and unobstructed view of animals that could normally only be obtained on safari.

It is quite small and peaceful zoo, which isn't located far from city center. It also has a mindblowing collection of butterflies, which are kept in the butterfly house.

Fantastic place with a lot of animals. There are lions, tigers, bears, giraffes. There are also domestic animals and tropic house.

Great place, sea shore, sunny, wonderful species
