Cottbus Zoo
The Cottbus Zoo (German: Tierpark Cottbus) is a zoo in the town Cottbus in the Brandenburg region of Germany. The zoo was founded in 1954, and covers 25 hectares (61.8 acres). The park includes a lot of trees, growing along the river Spree.[3] The zoo breeds over 70 species of waterfowl, and its symbol is the red-breasted goose.
History
The zoo's first director, Erhard Frommhold (1956–1963), developed the park into a real Zoological park,[3] and the zoo had status as a Zoo in 1960.[1]

1969 was the year of arrival of the first elephant, Sundali.[4]
