Abstract:

Within the frame of the further reconstruction process of the Leipzig Zoo into the "Zoo of the future", a new tiger facility with naturally designed outdoor enclosures opened in 2003. The constructional realisation into the "Tiger-Taiga" is being described. An animal house for hoofed animals being under monumental protection - the Big Deer House - build in 1908 is being integrated into the new enclosure as visitor information centre and offers various interactive didactic games.
