Eye to eye with the King of the Beasts
Ever been eye to yellow eye with a lion? Or seen a joey peeping out of its mother’s pouch?
Ever counted the teeth of a giant Nile crocodile? Or sniffed a billy-goat before seeing where it is? Ever got close enough to a rhinoceros to almost feel its hard and nubby skin? Take a stroll around Basel Zoo and you will most likely be struck dumb – whether by the ear-splitting gaggle of the flamingo colony or by the resplendent colours on display in the Vivarium. Every visit to the zoo is full of surprises.
