    Unfortunately, the enclosures are often empty. So don't promise children too much beforehand to avoid disappointment.

      Right next to this highlight is the aurochs enclosure.

      "...The aurochs, the European wild ox, was once the largest land mammal in Europe. Until humans destroyed its habitat and drove it to extinction, it was widespread across large parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa.
      The aurochs (Latin: Bos primigenius), also known as urus, urchin, or urus, were once—along with the European bison—the rulers of European meadows and forests. These wild animals possessed primal strength and, standing almost two meters tall with their enormous horns, weighed up to a ton.
      The last wild aurochs died around 400 years ago in the Jaktorówka forests of Poland. Soon after, zoologists began planning to reintroduce the ancestors of our modern domestic cattle to Europe through selective breeding..."

        Stately animals are the aurochs and the bison. Definitely worth a visit, like the Neandertal in general.
