ZOOLOGISCHER GARTEN, COLOGNE 71 



Asian. Opposite to the bear pit is the flamingo pond, 

 in one of the prettiest situations in the Garden. Green 

 banks, groups of trees, storks, cranes and flamingoes 

 make a lovely picture. From the terrace of the res- 

 taurant a very picturesque view of the Garden is to 

 be had. On the left hand of the pond are a sheep and 

 goat rockery, and a building containing Barbary sheep, 

 thar, onahura, and a herd of moufllon — that extremely 

 beautiful black, brown, and M^^hite wild goat. The 

 latter have frequently bred in the Garden. In 

 Corsica and Sardinia, for want of game laws, they are 

 fast dying out. There is a new fox and jackal house, 

 brick-built in the Gothic style, and having on one side 

 a massive tower. The cages are roomy, the floors 

 cemented, and the sanitary arrangements good. Be- 

 sides the German wolf are to be found the grey wolf 

 and the black wolf of North America, also several 

 jackals, foxes, and fennecs, including the Arctic and 

 common foxes, and C. Hagenhecki from Somaliland. 

 Two striped hyaenas and one spotted hyaena are 

 housed in front of the bear pits. 



The monkey house is also found in front of the bear 

 pit. This is the most attractive and popular house in 

 the Garden. A young orang-outang, however, has 

 monopolized most attention in the new aviary. The 

 baboons, macaques, etc., will soon be placed in a new 

 house, which will have more light from above, and 

 there will be out-of-door cages. The capuchin seems 

 to live out of doors all the year round. In the 

 monkey house are different sorts of lemurs, white rats 

 and mice, and the hamsters, which live in glass cases. 

 One of the baboons has been for years in the Garden ;
