Zoo Osnabrück is located in south Osnabrück at the hillside of Schölerberg in Osnabrück, Germany. It was founded under the name "Heimattiergarten", and opened during the summer of 1936. Almost 3000 animals from roughly 300 species can be seen on the 23.5 ha (0.235 km2) land. It is famous for housing the Grolar Bear. This brought about many scientific inquiries into the zoo. 865,000 visitors visited the zoo in 2010. The Osnabrück Zoo was founded as a home zoo in July 1935 and opened on July 26, 1936. Zoo friends had come together in the "Community of Friends of the Home Zoo". The plan to found a zoo in Osnabrück was put into practice with the help of donations. The first animals were a badger, a fox and a bear. An aviary, an owl tower, a deer and roe deer gate and an aquarium followed a little later. In 1938 the first bears arrived in the still small zoological garden. More information...
