Zoo Schmiding — Zoo in Krenglbach
Zoo Schmiding and its collection
Zoo Schmiding is a zoo in Krenglbach, Austria.
The zoo grew out of Vogelpark Schmiding, Austria's largest bird park, which opened in 1982, and now covers 14 hectares arranged by region of the world. A circuit of four kilometres passes giraffes, white rhinos, red pandas, Siberian tigers and Austria's only gorillas. The zoo, an aqua zoo and an arthropod zoo stand on the grounds of Schmiding castle, first documented in 1100.
Animals and collection
Animals on show include Haie, Meeresschildkröten, Gürteltiere, Springtamarine and Säbelantilopen.
Exhibits
A walk-in free-flight aviary for birds of prey, at 25,000 cubic metres, is claimed to be the largest of its kind in the world. There is also a tunnelled tiger enclosure and an Africa house in which ruffed lemurs roam loose. The bachelor gorillas' quarters are divided into outdoor, indoor and sleeping sections, the interior kept at tropical conditions.
