The RHINO PAGODE at Zoo Berlin will create a swampy grassland for armored rhinos, pustel pigs and tapirs on an area of around 14.000 m², modeled on their natural habitat. Between tall grasses and idyllic watercourses, these iconic animals will enjoy mud baths starting spring 2023 and become the new visitor magnets of the Capital Zoo. The reconstruction of the rhinoceros enclosure conforms to modern animal welfare principles. A mixed-species exhibit will be built, which presents the animals in their natural habitats and gives the visitors an understanding of an entire ecosystem. The tower will be colored in traditional Indian red tones and stands as exotic monument for species protection. The dan pearlman experience architecture is responsible for the project.
