Zoo Duisburg

Duisburg Zoo, founded on 12 May 1934, is one of the largest zoological gardens in Germany. It is especially well known for its dolphinarium and, since 1994, for breeding koalas. The Dolphinarium is inhabited by 7 bottle-nosed dolphins : Ivo (M), Pepina (F), Delphi (F), Daisy (F), Debbie (F) and Dobbie (M) and Dora (F). My main reason to visit this zoo, IVO! He lived in Antwerp Zoo for several years before moving to Duisburg Zoo in 1999. Ivo is the highest ranking animal in the dolphinarium. He is also a very affectionate and caring father who loves playing. He's the reason of my love for dolphins since I was a kid. It nice to meet his family and his son Dobbie, born in 2016. Thanks for the warm welcome and the shower Ivo!
