Chemnitz Zoo
The Chemnitz Zoo (German: Tierpark Chemnitz) is a zoo in the city Chemnitz in Sachsen, Germany. The Zoo was opened in 1964, and covers 1 000 animals from 200 species, living on 10 hectares (24.7 acres). During the first decenniums most species reflected the nature of the Soviet Union, and later the zoo reconcepted into breeding of endangered species. In 2014 The Zoo had 178.233 visitors. In 2004, a lion wounded a female zookeeper, and in 2006 another female zookeeper was killed by a leopard. After the female Amur tiger Taiga died in the fall of 2016, the male Jantar lived alone in the tiger enclosure. In December 2017, a second Amur tiger, Wolodja from the Nuremberg Zoo, moved into the facility again. However, the already 19-year-old Jantar was euthanized just a few weeks later.
