Sad farewell: Wirgarten Fulda loses popular Wallabies!

In the Fulda Tierpark Wirgarten, the recent development has brought sad news with it. Luisa and Oskar, two popular Wallabies of the park, died. Luisa died in July 2024, while Oskar died on Monday of this week, such as "https://www.fuldaerzeitung.de/fulda/kaengurus-in-fuldaer-toten-twelche-tiere-gie-nun-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-bieben-beine-beine-beine-bei-beiten-nun. Oskar, who was around 15 years old, enjoyed great popularity with visitors and employees. He died of old age and leaves a gap in the string.

The Wirarten Fulda, which was opened again on February 1, 2025 after a short winter break, has already welcomed new animals. Two German yellow turkeys have been the first newcomers since the winter break. Together with the children's academy, the city of Fulda has taken responsibility for the zoo in order to improve the species -appropriate attitude of the animals. However, some areas of the park remain closed to minimize the risk of mouth and claw disease.

reopen and redesigned

The stratar was opened on October 21, 2023 as a redesign of the previous home animal garden. This was previously short of closure due to financial difficulties and non -appropriate animal husbandry. The veterinary office had meanwhile closed the park. In the new design, the animals benefit from enlarged enclosures that enable them to decide for themselves whether they are looking for contact with the visitors. Food is no longer used as an attraction, which benefits the species -appropriate attitude.

The city of Fulda and the children's academy work hand in hand to offer pedagogical programs and to transform the zoo into a place that facilitates children access to local farm animals. Pedagogical offers take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for school classes and social groups. In addition, the Wirgarten offers concepts for children's birthdays and company celebrations.

outlook in the future

The head of the Wirgarten, Rieke Trittin, explained plans to procure new animals, ideally kangaroos. Trittin emphasizes that the new animals should not live alone; At least two animals are required for the attitude. Oskar and Luisa, who lived in the park, originally came from the home animal garden and lived in the zoo for at least ten years

With opening times from Thursday 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Fridays to Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the strataries directly set standards to offer visitors an insight into the world of animals. The admission price is 3.50 euros for children and adolescents and 6 euros for adults.
