Berlin 4: Zoo

Berlin Zoo is wonderful, and huge.  We spent the whole day there. 

When the second World War ended, there were only around 90 animals left in the Zoo, but today there are thousands - all-in-all I took 188 pictures (or thereabouts), so these are just a smattering.

For me the obvious stars were the hippos, not least because you could see them swimming close by through the murky, green glass side of their pool, and the the floppy-eared aardvark that lived in the twilight, nocturnal animal area (hence no photo).  Just like Cerebus, only not so niggled.
