Hellabrunn Zoo

Hellabrunn Zoo

German  Tierpark Hellabrunn,  also called  Geo-zoo,  

      zoological garden in Munich. The spacious, wooded, 70-ha (173-ac) grounds resemble the animals' natural habitats. Hellabrunn specializes in breeding species threatened with extinction, such as the Przewalski's horse, and back breeding to species already extinct, such as the aurochs, a wild ox said to have become extinct in the 1620s. Founded in 1928, the zoo is financed by the city. It has more than 4,500 specimens of about 580 species. It is called the Geo-zoo because the animals are grouped according to continent of origin.
