Hey there.
If you wanna know something about the zoos in Sweden, here's some info.
Kolmården Zoo and Safari is the biggest zoo in Scandinavia.
They have the biggest dolphinarium in Scandinavium. (It's the only one as well). Although, this show is more like circus, so i pass it when i'm there.
Another cool thing is their safari park where you can ride by car or bus and watch giraffes, zebras, antilopes, lamas, ostriches, deers, wild dogs, lions and bears.
New for 2007 is Tiger World, where you can see the tigers right in front of you. There's only a glass between you and the mighty tiger. In Tiger World you can also find dholes or Asian wild dogs.
They also have the monkey house, with chimpanzees, gibbons, pygmy marmosets and the only gorillas in Sweden.
And, they also have a huge savannah in the zoo part with rhinos, zebras, flamingos, antilopes, marabou storks and crowned cranes.
And of course, they have an elephant house too. In here, you can see the two Asian elephant females, the rhinos and meerkats. They had a big elephant herd before, but they were to old so they passed away. Here, Brahma, one of the biggest elephant bulls in Europe lived before.
You can also see snow leopards, wolves, prairie dogs, reindeers, penguins, sea lions, tapirs, maras, capybaras, parrots and domestic animals at Kolmården.
Well, you gotta come here sometime. It's a really cool zoo, but it doesn't have so many exotic species. Although, i've heard some rumours that they wanna have hyenas and pandas in the future.
You can keep your fingers crossed on that!!
