Bred Breed Breeding Breeds Carl Exhibits Hagenbeck Hamburg Lion Lions Tiger Tigers Zoological Tierpark
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Tierpark Hagenbeck, Germany's most renowned privately-owned zoo, founded by the visionary Carl Hagenbeck in 1874. The zoo, which moved to its present location in Hamburg-Stellingen in 1907, was a trailblazer in the world of zoological gardens. In this image, we see two young cross-bred Lion-Tigers, both proudly displaying their unique features. The Lion-Tiger, a result of the breeding of a Lion and a Tigress, was a rare and intriguing exhibit at Tierpark Hagenbeck during the 1910s. The cross-breeding of these two magnificent animals was a testament to Hagenbeck's innovative approach to zoo exhibits, which focused on naturalistic habitats and ethical treatment of animals. Carl Hagenbeck was a pioneer in the field of zoology, challenging traditional zoo designs and advocating for more humane and naturalistic living conditions for the animals. His zoo became a model for other institutions around the world, and its influence can still be seen in modern zoos today. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and wonder of these cross-bred animals, as well as the groundbreaking work of Carl Hagenbeck and Tierpark Hagenbeck.
