  • Wuppertal Zoo, hexen_koenigin (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Is an very interesting zoo with many different and exotic pets from all over the world. You can see them in this place in copies of theyre real home places, the only difference for some of them is the temperature in germany. The ape's are in an freestyle cage so the can run and jump around a little sea.
