They are building a new area at the zoo Hanover called Yukon Bay. It is supposed to be finished next year and I can't wait. Polar bears, wolves, caribou, snow rabbits and for some weird reason penguins and other animals who like it cold. I can't wait until that is finished and I can take some pictures. :D

But yeah, it is not the same as seeing them in the wild, but it is much less dangerous and I like that the animals aren't in cages anymore, like they used to be, but that they can walk around on those big (still not big enough, but I guess one has to make compromises) enclosures.

Well, I guess my scooter wouldn't even get me that far up north, though. Hard to ride it on snow and ice.
