Our animals at Rostock Zoo

Rostock Zoo is home to 4,500 animals in 450 different species from all over the world. As representatives of an often endangered species, our animals are ambassadors for nature and species protection - the main task for zoos and animal parks.

Our animals inhabit near-natural facilities and habitats and are often socialized with other species. For example, gorillas share their enclosure with Brazza monkeys and Thomson's gazelles live together with lychee antelopes on the historic hoofed animals facility.

The diversity of species at Rostock Zoo ranges from small meerkats to large polar bears.
