Tierpark Dählhölzli — Zoo in Bern
Tierpark Dählhölzli and its collection
Tierpark Bern, opened in 1937, is a zoo in Bern, Switzerland.
The park is made up of the Dählhölzli site and a physically separate bear park, under the slogan Mehr Raum für Vielfalt. It is a municipal unit with its own separate accounts and rules that depart from the city ordinance, and is paid for by private gifts and legacies. Outside the vivarium the collection consists mainly of northern European species.
Animals and collection
Animals on show include Krallenaffen, Schlangen, Warane, Krokodile and Frösche.
Exhibits
An invited design competition for a new leopard enclosure was held in 2005 and won by the Zurich practice Graber Pulver. The resulting open enclosure of 600 square metres opened in 2006 and cost 1.5 million Swiss francs.
