  1. Zoos Of Berlin By Joseph Fry, Amy Ellice, Emily Ratty & Heather Mccrorie

  2. The Parks Berlin Zoological Garden (West Berlin) & Tierpark Berlin (East Berlin) • Zoological Garden regarded as ‘one of the largest [zoos] in the world’ (berlin-life.com) yet ironically criticized for being too cramped at only (30 Hectares). • Tierpark has less animals, but spans over a greater expanse (160 hectares) • Popularity: Knut the polar bear and Bao Bao the panda.

  3. The Parks 2.0 • Zoological Garden breeding successes.

  4. Black Rhino!

  5. Zoos: Natural or cultural? The big debate!

  6. Organisation • Partial Zoogeographic layout: some continental areas – south American/African, etc. • Types – Deer/antelope/zebra, etc. • Carnivore House • Penguin House • Aviaries • Glass Dome Hippo House • Siamese Cattle House – ‘Biggest Thai Building in Europe’. • Antelope House • Ape House • Aquarium Zoological Garden Tierpark

Animals of expansion ‘In the back of the zoo is the expansion area, arranged in which the animals according to animal groups, but continents are accommodated.’

  8. Control & Power • Heyd • Control of animals: • Feeding (Zoo’s comment) – Respect • Power over life and death • Containment - Fences/Cages, etc • Control of people: • Paths – Numbered • Signs • Rules • No Dogs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ61qi-Sptg&feature=fvw BLURRED BOUNDARIES!

  9. Knut the Polar Bear • The face of Berlin Zoological Garden • Consumerisation of animals • He has been seen in many forms of popular culture. These include story books, news reports, clothing, magazines, and more. Bao Bao the Panda is also another big attraction, as one of the oldest Panda’s in a zoo to date.

  10. Realism • How ‘real’ are the habitats? • Made to mimic the original habitats of the animals in the wild: - Plants - Water - *Temperatures • Batty => Gardens => Zoos • Berger => ‘Framed’ animals. P7 “capacity for symbolic thought” – difference between humans and animals. • Zoos symbolise human perceptions of nature. • Berlin Zoo doesn’t always provide ‘realistic’ environments... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65EiIzDnHFM

  11. Nature Created By Machines

  12. About Looking (Berger, 2009)

  13. Celebrities Gone Wild Knut Polar bear club!

  14. Questions • Are you pro/anti zoo’s? • Should animals be kept in zoos? Should they instead run ‘free’? • Are the animals better off in the wild? What about human medical care? (When people want nature to be left entirely natural should humans intervene when nature is in danger?) • Who benefits from controlling animals? Man or Beast? Both? • Is the popularity of Knut somewhat distasteful? • Should humans be allowed to come between animal and nature? It was even said that Knut had become addicted to humans and their company. Does this then resonate with animals in zoos being classed as pets? • Do we Personify animals? Do you think they feel sad about their predicaments?
