Today I finally visited the zoo of Stuttgart: Wilhelma. I heard about it for many years now but never had the chance to go there given our visits to Germany were always very court and very busy.
The zoo was originally a private garden for the king Wilhelm (thus the name) and was built in the middle of the 19th century following the popular architecture style of back then. Some of the buildings reminded me a lot of the Queen's gardens in Laeken (Belgium) with very similar green houses.
We spent five hours in the park and covered nearly everything. Well at least the areas that were open or where the animals were there. In winter some animals are cold and prefer to stay inside where it's warm.
Here is a selection of pictures I took today, covering a wide range of creatures.

My favourite: the chameleon that gave us the attitude look (top left)
And a very bored polar bear... maybe even depressed, which can be understood given he was all alone.
