When evening comes, quiet returns to Stralsund Zoo. The lively show macaws tuck their heads under their wings, the mustached tamarin family moves into its sleeping basket for the night, and the lion Mufassa signals for the last time this day with his roar that he is the king in his territory. Not so, however, for the long zoo night: The animal trainers open the round with an evening show. Especially popular are the newcomers in the stock of show animals. Afterwards, the guests of the “Long Zoonight” can choose one of the offered thematic tours. Employees from the various zoo areas and the garden department present their very special view of the animals entrusted to their care. The evening will end at the campfire with a hearty meal of bratwurst and stick bread, prepared by the staff of the bistro “Delikater”. Zoo visitors have another chance to talk to the keepers in a relaxed atmosphere by firelight and experience some of the zoo’s trusting inhabitants up close.
