Zoo supports the CSD Chemnitz

Special guided tour on the topic of "Homosexuality in the animal kingdom - of queer animals" on 28 and 29 July, registrations now possible

On Friday, 28 July at 4.30 pm and Saturday, 29 July at 10 am, Chemnitz Zoo invites all interested parties to a special guided tour on the topic of "Homosexuality in the animal kingdom - of queer animals" on the occasion of Christopher Street Day in Chemnitz.
The guided tour, which lasts around an hour, has some special features from the animal kingdom in store for all participants.

Participation is free of charge, as CSD Chemnitz e.V. pays the entrance fee for all participants.
Due to the limited number of participants (maximum 15 people per tour), please register in advance by emailing tierpark(at)stadt-chemnitz.de.

Homosexuality does not only exist in humans, but is also known in more than 1,500 animal species. For example, one in ten guinea pigs is gay. Homosexual couples are also not uncommon among penguins and flamingos. At the zoo, bactrian camel mares, among others, have been observed having sexual contact with each other.
