Austria, Vienna - Tiergarten Zoo

This is the World's oldest zoo over 250 years old. It started as a menagerie of the Austrian Emperor and Empress and progressed to so much more. Currently housing 700 unique species some nearing extinction. This zoo has been through 2 World Wars and survived. It I as much a historic land marker as it is a zoo. They even kept the ok cages to show what zoos use to look like.

They have a bat enclosure with the birds. Many bats were just hanging out.

There was even a cave with awake bats. When I walked through it they were flying all over even into me! It was super freaky and awesome.

Here is one of the many bird enclosures.

The Cheetah has three little babies with her. Soo adorable!

And a bee exhibit and you can buy their honey!

Penguin, goats, monkeys all just to name a few! It is one of the nicest zoos I have ever been to!

There was even nature area with suspension bridges through the treetops. And a fair bit of Squirrels up in them treetops! Overall a nice stroll.
