A better home for our big cats

A pride of lions prowls across the savannah landscape, tigers skulk in the undergrowth, and leopards perch on lofty branches. To make this vision a reality at Zoo Berlin, we are carrying out an extensive renovation of our Predator House at the moment. Cages will be replaced with habitats that recall the animals’ homes in the wild, giving visitors a whole new experience of our big cats. This fascinating world of predators opens at Zoo Berlin in 2021! In order to keep you up to date, we have set up a small construction site diary here.
