Good news: new additions to the Zurich Wilderness Park

Wednesday, 16. June 2021

A trip to Langenberg Zoo is particularly worthwhile at the moment. Young animals can now be observed in many animal species. Particularly pleasing: after 10 years, young lynx have once again been born in Zurich Wildlife Park - thanks to a new pair of lynx. Event tip: On June 27, the "Young Animals" wilderness day will take place at Langenberg Zoo.
