Who knew ZOOS could be different in Germany vs the US! I’ve been wanting to make this video since August when I went to the Nuremberg Zoo with my friend Leon, but I finally got around to filming it. I made a list of shocking things while I was there such as how close we were to the animals, more political signs talking about endangered animals and climate change, as well as a few food items that I wasn’t exactly expecting to see :) I also included a few similarities when comparing zoos in the US versus in Germany so hopefully those are interesting too!

My name is Montana Showalter, and I was a participant in the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program in 2019-2020. I started my KZbin channel while living in Germany and continue to make videos on German vs American culture. I love finding aspects of German culture in the US as well as producing videos in German as practice! In the future, I hope to live abroad again :)

Am important keyword is "artgerechte Tierhaltung": keeping the animals in an environment appropriate for their respective species without making them suffer too much. This has been discussed more and more during the last decades, and many zoos in Germany have made major changes to respect this, mostly by putting fewer animals in more "natural" environnements, also giving them the possibility to hide from the visiting humans.

Hey Montana. A few words, starting with a short definition of terminology. "Zoo" being an abbreviation for a zoological garden (as opposed to a botanical garden for plants) does basically mean the same as Tiergarten, though I think the latter is used way less in Germany. Now about the most striking difference: the way the animals are kept and "displayed". I think in Germany, the idea of a zoo being kind of a site of science or at least a display of selected fauna for reasons of gaining knowledge (kind of like a museum) is followed much more actively than in the US. There, it seems to me, the idea behind zoos has become more that of a place of entertainment, like a movie theater but with live animals instead. And a place of entertainment needs to be entertaining - whatever that might mean in the ideas of those running the zoo. In the more "scientific" approach, it makes of course much more sense to provide a habitat for the animals which comes as close to their natural environment as possible, given the circumstances of location, etc. (That's also why some people argue that a zoo should not have animals from other continents or climates.) The animals are seen and treated as such, as far as possibilities go, and not meant to be some exhibit, existing only to look pretty and entertain visitors like in a circus. Basically, I think you could see German and US zoos a bit like museums and an art galleries. One One is there to collect exhibits and provide knowledge about them, the other to look good. /Though I don't want to say, US zoos in general are "bad" or that they don't provide the knowledge or care about the animals' well-being at all, but you did leave the impression that that's the biggest different and I just wanted to share my thoughts as to where I think it might come form.)

Tiergarten/Tierpark often refers to places with more animals that actually live in that kind of climate (so no polar bears for example), where as a Zoo usually has animals from all over the world, I think. At least in Berlin, there is both a Zoo and a Tierpark and that‘s kinda how you can distinguish between the two, I believe. Also the Tierpark is a bit smaller.

Baroque courts boasted their collections of exotic animals which were kept in narrow cages. That was the sad beginning of our zoos. Carl Hagenbeck from Hamburg pioneered the idea to present the animals in a more natural surrounding and give them more space, the "Tierpark" was born. The visitors should have the illusion they had travelled to an exotic country themselves. It has to be mentioned as well the Hagenbeck did the same with indigenous peoples. For a long time right into the 20th century "Hagenbecks Tierpark" had Inuits that kayaked on an artificial lake with artificial ice floating around, showed their skills with harpoons and "lived" in igloos. And the other attraction was an African village. From our modern point of view that was unacceptably racist behaviour, to show people in a zoo, but it was in a time without TV and Discovery Channel.

I guess in general, USA parks will have more space available, density in Europe is more like NYC Central Zoo. Quiet dense. But they try to get rid of any kind of cages to some fake-rock-mountain scenery or so. Zoos in Europe made quiet a conversion in the last 20-30 years, to remove any kind of prison bars. The word you've been looking for might be cherish or enclosure. And they made kind of good experience of having 2-3 species in one enclosure.

I am not sure even being born in East Germany if other zoos like the one in Leipzig were called Tierpark too in the 80s. Today it's the Leipziger Zoo not the Leipziger Tierpark so i am not sure if it was an east german thing or just used to differentiate the 2 zoos existing in Berlin.

Möglicherweise ist„Tierpark“ ist ein überwiegend ein Süddeutscher Terminus. Z. B. Tierpark Hellabrunn in München… Aber: es gibt ja auch noch Hagenbecks Tierpark in Hamburg… Oder diverse Wildtierparks… Vermutlich je nach Geschmack des Gründers oder der Gründerzeit. Ich denke die meisten Zoos in Deutschland kann man mittlerweile ohne schlechtes Gewissen besuchen, da sich das Selbstversändnis und die Gesetzeslage auf Tierschutz ausrichten… Btw… Brezeln gibt es mittlerweile überall in Deutschland, wo mit Touristen zu rechnen ist 🤣

The difference between Zoo and Tierpark is the original concept. Zoos were exhibitions. Often the cages were smaller and closer together. Parks were meant to be... parks. The cages were bigger, and settled in a park like landscape. You can see that pretty good when you visit Berlin Zoo and Tierpark.

Such an interesting video, I would never have thought that there were so many differences. Regarding the "Tiergarten" vs "Zoo" : I believe that "Tiergarten" usually refers to a smaller zoo with more local animals and just a more chill vibe instead of being focused on entertainment but maybe that's just how it is in northrhine-westfalia. I know that the dialect over in Nürnberg is more traditional and since "Tierpark" sounds more old-timey it might be used interchangeably for all zoos over there. Just guessing tho. Also, if you're into the more aesthetically pleasing zoos I can recommend Zoom Erlebniswelt in Germany, they usually make a point to look really pretty although I'm not sure how it compares to Zoos in the US. You can even get extremely close to polar bears there, with them touching the glass (hence the "Erlebniswelt").

One of the best things about the Nuremberg Tiergarten is the narrow-gauge railway that looks like the famous "Adler" train. I'm not sure if you have experienced it in August, as roumour has it that it has been shut down for modernization. Of course the animals are so fascinating, cute and adorable, but then, trains and railways are just my thing.

In Austria we say „Tiergarten Schönbrunn“, and it‘s a Zoo for all kinds of animals. Nobody would say „Zoo“ (but this might be different in Germany! Eg Berlin‘s S-Bahn-Haltestelle „Bahnhof Zoo“!) „Zoo“ is only used so that Tourists know what‘s going on, but we would not say „Gehen wir in den Zoo“ (at least not in Vienna).

As an Austrian myself, I have to disagree. Whereas zoo is definitely a very German German word, "we" call it Zoo too sometimes. Or Tierpark. Zoo comes from the word Zoologischer Garten, so its actually just a short form. Especially younger generations of Austrians and immigrants living in Austria speak proper German instead of Austrian dialect and they also adapt very German words to the Austrian sublanguage.

I love cats and he was the most impressive one I scratched ears. ... We also fed onions to monkeys... the look on their faces was priceless. Now I feel so sorry for them.

There are many zoos where you can get even closer to the animals. In Münster the penguins would have a walk through the zoo at certain times and you can also feed them with fish. You can also feed lories with cups of nectar in the elephant house. It is indoor and the birds will fly freely there. They will sit on your hand or arm when you feed them. In Aachen the parrots would hang on the cages and you can touch them. They are so used to visitors that you can ruffle their bellies with a finger. Many zoos or Tiergärten will have Streichelgehege (petting corrals) with rabbits, guinea pigs, goats or sheeps. In general the safety for domestic animals are not so high, horses, donkeys, cattle is often in corrals you can get very close and touch them when they come close. I've met some really cuddly donkeys over the time in zoos. Zoo vs. Tiergarten / Tiergehege I think in general Zoo is more used when it is focussed on exotic animals. When it is more domestic animals from all over the world it is called more Tiergarten. This is how it is used here. Except for Berlin of course where the whole Zoo ist called Tiergarten Berlin.

But fear not, many german zoos still have an enclosure for them, mimicking their natural habitat. Just look for a stylized large yellow M on red ground. There you can watch their feeding habits fairly well. PS: *srcsm* ;)

Maybe they had the Pfand on the cups so you dont throw them in the environment. Which typically Germans dont do much but if it is worth money you definitely dont. "Zoo" is usually used in spoken German. It could be considered the standard term to refer to it and Tiergarten is the original German word which sounds official like it would be in the names of places and we would use it to sound more fancy.

When I was a kid, we went to Sea World a number of times. (Most of my dad's family lived in the Akron area, so we had to go there to visit anyway, and Aurora is conveniently nearby.) Not a zoo as such, but I remember they had two exhibits where you could actually put your arm into the water at the edge of the tank and let the animals nuzzle your hand: beluga whales, and dolphins. (They also consistently allowed one young child volunteer from the audience to feed and pet one of the killer whales, each time they did the Shamu Show; but that was under the direct supervision of a professional whale trainer, and was part of the show, and the whale was up on the shallow beaching area at the front of the stage at the time, not swimming freely. Killer whales are presumably too dangerous to be handled by random members of the public without such precautions.) Unfortunately, Sea World closed about twenty years ago, probably due to failure to compete with the (nearby and much cheaper) Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and/or Cedar Point (which is an hour away but had similar ticket prices to Sea World at the time, and featured actual rides, instead of shows where you watch other people ski). The property was bought by a waterpark for a while, but I think it's just altogether closed now.

The german Word for „containment“ od the animals you were looking for is either „Käfig“ (but only if it is really a smaller cage, like for Mice or something), for birds it is a „Voliere“ and for larger Animals (Lions, Elefants, Monkeys etc) we would usually call it „Anlage“ (eg Robbenanlage) to connotate that it is more thsn a „cage“, but a replica of the animals‘ natural habitat.

From the words there is no difference. Zoo actually is the abbreviated form of zoologischer Garten. Where zoologisch is Greek for animal world. And that's what science uses as terminus technicus. So in English it would be animal park vs. zoo. Zoos started out as exhibitions of animals in basically cages. Then the concept of showing them in the natural environment where those animals lived was emphasized more.

In Deutschland hat sich in den letzten 30 Jahren viel getan, um es für die Tiere besser zu machen. Man sollte sich auch Zeit nehmen, um die Tiere in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung, Tagesabläufen und Verhaltensweisen zu beobachten, so wie man zu Hause im Garten oder der freien Wildbahn auch machen muss. Geh mal in's Gondwanaland im Zoo Leipzig. Das ist 'ne riesige Kuppel mit Regenwald und Tieren. In Neuseeland konnte man sogar durch die Papageiengehege spazieren.

I mostly agree, healthy animals should never be taken outside of their natural habitat to entertain people. However, I'm not against saving an animal from certain death by bringing it somewhere where it can live its days out peacefully and in the most natural way possible. Animals shouldn't be bred in captivity and then stay in an unnatural place for their whole lives. But if the species is endangered and that's the only possibility to keep them on planet earth with the intention of releasing them into the wild after their numbers have multiplied (of course they would have to make sure the animals can actually still live out in the wild) that is acceptable to me. So it's always a two sided coin, but for the mojority of the cases, I'd 100% agree with you

In the early years German Zoos were meant as exibition only. They presented the animals in concrete areas where they couldn‘t hide and their only cause of life was to be looked at. Today a Zoo is a place to preserve animals from extinction. All German Zoos have to try to give animals the circumstances they would have found in their original life area / nature. There are projects to bread animals to bring them back to nature. Otherways the number of Zoo animals is restricted. All over Europe Zoos are working together to enshure noone has too much of one species in an enclosure and to prevent extinction. Main aim of a Zoo is now the wellbeeing of the animals. So it comes that animals can decide not to show up to the visitors…

@@bennsen8675 Verzeihung, aber deine Argumentation erscheint mir schon jetzt nicht zutreffend. Die Begriffe "Glauben" und "Vernunft/Wissenschaft" sind in der Regel völlig unterschiedliche Dinge und widersprechen sich in der Regel ! Beide Begriffe als richtig für EINE Sache (Tierhaltung in Zoos) zu benutzen, halte ich daher in den allermeisten Fällen für einen billigen und leicht durchschaubaren Versuch, alle Trümpfe auf seine Seite zu bekommen. Da du ja auch kein einziges Argument für oder gegen deine Sache genannt hast, ist eine Diskussion wohl müßig (oder hier ist der falsche Ort). Meiner persönlichen Erfahrung nach ist es außerdem häufig so, das Menschen sich zu Themen äußern, von denen Sie keine Ahnung haben. Ob das auch auf dich zutrifft, weiß ich natürlich nicht. Aber zu behaupten, es gäbe keine Argumente für Zoos ohne überhaupt mal Argumente genannt zu haben, halte ich für einen sehr schlechten Diskurs. Der Begriff Non-Diskurs wäre wohl zutreffender. In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich auch auf den Fall Attila Hildmann hinweisen, der von allen mir bekannten Anhängern des Tierwohls seinerzeit als das tolle neue Vorzeigesternchen behandelt und verehrt wurde. Zitat "... eine moralische Instanz..." oder "...der hat Recht, mit dem was er sagt...". Was der Mensch heute macht, ist wohl hinlänglich bekannt.

@@olivertell3767 Okay, ich kopiere dir mal hier meinen Kommentar von weiter oben rein. Vielleicht ist dir das fundiert genug. Dazu sage ich noch einmal, dass ich kein Experte bin, ich habe mir nur meine Meinung gebildet anhand der Ansichten von ebendiesen Experten. Und die Fakten, die von ebenjenen präsentiert wurden, erschienen mir so schlüssig, dass sie mich dazu bewegt haben, meine Meinung über Zoos zu ändern. Es hat auch niemand gesagt, dass du Bücher kaufen sollst, aber ich finde, es ist nicht zu viel verlangt, sich mal zu hinterfragen, ob Zoos heute noch zeitgemäß sind. Außerdem vergleichst du hier Äpfel mit Birnen mit Attila Hildmann, das ist klassischer Whataboutism. Das ist so, als wenn ich sage, man kann keinen Ärzten mehr vertrauen, weil sich mal ein Arzt geirrt hat oder jemand bei einer Operation gestorben ist. Natürlich ist Attila Hildmann inzwischen ein radikaler Fanatiker, aber das macht ja seine damaligen Aussagen zum Tierwohl nicht weniger richtig. Radikaler Fanatismus ist nie gut, aber Attila Hildmann ist ja nicht zum Fanatiker geworden, weil er damals mehr Tierwohl gefordert hat, sondern eher weil er eine komplett weltferne politische Ideologie verfolgt. Zu deiner Aussage, dass ich doch mal Argumente bringen soll, kann ich nur sagen, dass du ebenso in der Bringschuld bist, wenn du sagst, dass Naturfilmer dubiose Methoden benutzen oder du dir keine Bücher kaufst, die mit Tierwohl beworben werden (Warum?). "Das ist genau das Problem, dass wir die Lebensräume der Tiere zerstören. Zoos haben in den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten dazu beigetragen, einige Arten zu erhalten, das stimmt. Zoos haben aber im Gegensatz dazu auch deutlich mehr Arten (die nicht vom Aussterben bedroht sind) importiert und sie damit ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum entrissen. Dort fehlen sie dann und zerstören so gesehen das Gleichgewicht. Die jetzigen gefangenen Tiere einfach auszuwildern wäre keine Lösung, so einfach ist es leider nicht, da viele Tiere in Gefangenschaft in der Wildnis nicht überlebensfähig wären. Aber es wäre ja schon einmal ein Anfang, wenn Zoos keine neuen Wildtiere mehr einfangen. In meiner perfekten Welt bieten die Zoos ihren aktuellen Tieren noch ein möglichst schönes Leben, lassen sie in Ruhe sterben, holen aber keine neuen nach. Dann sind die Zoos irgendwann leer und können geschlossen werden. Tier- und Artenschutz muss vor Ort betrieben werden und nicht in einem Zoo. Alternativen sind beispielsweise Wildparks, wo die Tiere dann vor Wilderern geschützt sind, sie meist mehrere hundert, wenn nicht tausend km² Platz haben und vor allem in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum sind. Es kommt ja nahezu Wahnsinn gleich, einen Eisbären, der ein natürliches Einzugsgebiet von tausenden km² hat und der in klimatischen Bedingungen jenseits des Gefrierpunktes lebt, in ein Gehege zu sperren, das vllt. ein paar hundert m² hat und wo es im Sommer 40°C im Schatten sind. Dazu kommt noch, dass einige Länder, besonders in Asien deutlich strengere Tierschutzgesetze brauchen, damit eben nicht in einer Einkaufspassage der Eisbär in einem 10m²-Gehege rumlümmelt oder Japan jedes Jahr tausende Wale abschlachtet nur wegen irgendwelcher Traditionen. Es muss ein generelles Umdenken erfolgen, weg vom Tiere einsperren, hin zum Naturschutz. Niemand ist gerne eingesperrt, Tiere haben Gefühle genau wie wir Menschen, deswegen sollten wir sie auch respektieren. Und in Zoos ist der Respekt vor dem Tier meiner Meinung nach auf einem absoluten Tiefpunkt, denn da geht es vornehmlich um das Zurschaustellen der Tiere, d.h. ein reines Egogefühl des Menschen. Das Thema Massentierhaltung hat mit Zoos erst einmal nicht viel zu tun, sondern ist ein Problem, das natürlich auch gelöst und angegangen werden sollte, aber eben nicht im gleichen Atemzug wie das Thema Zoos. Tiere einzusperren kann und sollte nicht richtig sein. Ich habe hier leider nicht alle wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe parat.

Again, I always have to point this out to every American making videos about Germany, Bavaria is not Germany. You won't find Bretzeln in every German zoo, because there are zoos outside of Bavaria. Tiergarten can just be a park without animals, Tierpark is sometimes used instead of zoo. I've never been to Nürnberg zoo, but to dozen others outside of Bavaria. The zoom Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen is a fantastic zoo. It is zoned in different habitats. And yes, we prefer zoos in Germany to look natural. First and foremost the animals have to like it there. So I don't like your comments on dirty water and the like. The trend in our zoos is to have less animals and make the enclosures as nature like as possible. If the animals are not always seen then that is acceptable too.

"Ugly" German exhibits vs. more polished USA exhibits: Yes. To give it the German twist: In the USA zoos try to be more part of the show business and show a wow effect. Both approaches have their ups and downs and I hope there is knowledge exchange between the zoos in Germany and the USA. Anyways, one of my Aha moments was when I visited the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta ... even when you stand in the queue at the box office there are Piranhas swimming side by side with you in a tunnel aquarium. That was a great view and show effect. And in the Georgia Aquarium you have that tunnel below the biggest "pond" with an extrardinary view. ... and don't get me started on the whale shark ...it is unbelievable! It is like a house is swimming by. Overall, the approach seems to be more show-centric in the USA and more "kind of try to provide the animals a 'natural' habitat" in Germany ... in the same situation - humans gawking at animals. Since I (as a noob) did not see the Georgia Aquarium do more unatural things to the animals but present them better, I like that approach more. Nice fringe topic that you picked, Montana.

Was wäre denn ihr konkreter Lösungsvorschlag zur Änderung, in Deutschland würden nun alle Tierparks und Zoos geschlossen und dann? Wohin mit den Tieren, zurück in die Natur? Solange wir die eigentlichen Lebensräume dieser Tiere nicht anfangen in Gänze besser zu schützen und zu respektieren, wird es unheimlich schwer bestimmte Arten zu erhalten. Und das einfangen von Tieren müsste unterbunden werden. Da müsste in den Ländern angesetzt werden, in denen die Tiere leben, die Wächter vor Ort müssten entsprechend geschult und bezahlt werden, ansonsten landen solche Tiere in Privatbesitz in China, Russland, Saudi Arabien, Kanada oder wo auch immer, Korruption ist da ein großes Problem. Der Eisbär in der freien Natur hat echte Schwierigkeiten zu überleben, der Lebensraum schrumpft, die Nahrung nimmt ab. Bis da nicht ein weltweites Umdenken einsetzt mit entsprechenden Maßnahmen wird das nichts. Die illegale Abholzung der Wälder geht voran, es fahren immer mehr Kreuzfahrt und Containerschiffe über die Weltmeere, die alles verschmutzten. Da bringt ihr löblicher Boykott von Zoos, Aquarien und Parks nur minimal etwas. Klimawandel kommt dann da auch noch dazu. Da gibt es für uns alle viel zu tun bis man alles wieder auf Null setzen kann. Traditioneller Walfang in Norwegen, den Färöer Inseln oder Japan zum Beispiel, Massentierhaltung in Europa, billige Nahrungsmittel in Deutschen Supermarktkette und Discountern.

Unsere billigen Exporte zwingen die Menschen dort auszuweichen und dann lassen wir ihnen nicht viele Möglichkeiten, entweder in irgendwelchen Minen für uns Rohstoffe raus arbeiten oder etwas im Bereich Tiere und Natur. In dem Bereich steht dann die Frage wie verdient man sich sein Geld sicherer, mit dem hüten und beschützen der Tiere oder mit der Jagd und dem Verkauf. Das eine bringt wahrscheinlich auf Dauer mehr, das andere bringt kurzzeitig mehr und dafür muss ein entsprechendes Bewusstsein geschaffen werden. Also können wir nur dann den Zeigefinger heben und Veränderungen einfordern, wenn wir selbst dazu bereit sind und die Vorarbeit dafür leisten und mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen.
