The way to the species -appropriate attitude

The attitude of animals in zoos is increasingly being considered critically. According to the Tierschutzbund , the species-appropriate attitude depends heavily on the needs of the respective animal species and the circumstances in the zoo. Especially larger zoos often keep exotic wild animals to arouse the interest of visitors. However, it is sometimes a challenge to offer animals a life that is close to the wild train. Behavioral problems such as constant running or head movements are often signs of stress and discomfort.

In Stralsund, emphasis is placed on keeping the animals as appropriate as possible. This applies above all to the food, the establishment of the enclosure and the provision of sufficient retreat.

The Stralsund Zoo is definitely worth a visit to discover both the fascinating wildlife and to support the important use for species -appropriate animal husbandry.
