DID YOU KNOW?
By our German Captain, Tilly
The German language shares 60% of its vocabulary with English.
Did you know Germany has over 400 zoos? 414 zoos to be exact. That’s more zoos than the entire United States! The oldest and largest zoo in all of Germany is the Berlin Zoolischer Garten. It also has the largest collection of zoo animals in the entire world.
Viel Spaß und Vergnügen!
