It's only been two years since I last visited the NaturZoo Rheine. But even now in autumn, the zoo has its charm. The focus here is on the many species of monkeys that can be observed. Whether it's the lemurs, macaques, or the impressive geladas in their large enclosure. The monkey forest, where you can have close contact with Barbary macaques, whether you want to or not, had already impressed me in my childhood.
But since the last time, the zoo has developed a bit further. New construction projects were underway and others completed. You can walk through wonderful bird aviaries and watch the colorful animals. It was now quieter at the sloth bears, as they apparently found a new zoo for the two young animals. As a result, the mother was now much more relaxed and not as aggressive as before. The huge stork colony, which permanently stays around the zoo, is also very impressive again.
Unfortunately, I forgot to charge my camera's battery and also left the spare battery at home, so towards the end of the visit, my camera ran out of power. Therefore, I couldn't take any great pictures of the geladas. Maybe next time.
