About
Hagenbeck is a huge zoo in Hamburg. The main attractions are Kodiak bears, elephants, apes and polar bears. But there are hundreds of other fascinating animals at Hagenbeck

This place is a classic (maybe that is why it has always been among the most expensive zoos in Germany to visit). It was founded in 1848 when a man named Carl Hagenbeck jr. didn't know what to do with two seals in a tub.Then he put up a sign saying that people could experience all the marvels of the animal world in action against the payment of a wee sum of money. Later he got many more animals, enough to sell out of them to his fellow zoo directors all over Europe. Still later he got the idea that one could dispense with the fences around the animals just by digging trenches in strategic places.
