Snow leopard cub

A young snow leopard in Zurich Zoo.

The over 90-year-old Zurich Zoo lies in an idyllic location on the Zürichberg, in the city’s Fluntern quarter. The zoo is located high above the rooftops of Zurich, surrounded by greenery, yet can still be reached quickly and easily from the city center. Approximately 6,000 animals representing over 365 different species live at Zurich Zoo. The oldest resident is Nigrita, a Galapagos giant turtle. She is over 85 years old and has been living at the zoo since 1946. Panthera is the habitat of the big cats at Zoo Zurich. It is home to Asiatic lions, Siberian tigers, snow leopards and red pandas.

Zürich

Zürich, Limmatquai and Münstergasse with the Predigerkirche, ETH and university.
Located nearby the medieval Neumarkt quarter, Predigerkirche is one of the four main churches of the old town of Zürich. First built in 1231 AD as a Romanesque church of the then Dominican Predigerkloster, the Basilica was converted in the first half of the 14th century, the choir between 1308 and 1350 rebuilt, and a for that time unusual high bell tower was built, regarded as the highest Gothic edifice in Zürich.
