Explore the Mammals of Schönbrunn Zoo

African elephant

The heaviest living terrestrial mammal, the African elephant has tusks and huge ears. The population of these elephants has witnessed a sharp decline in recent years due to habitat loss and poaching, which is why they are listed as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List. Get a chance to explore the African elephants in the elephant park.

Amur leopard

The critically endangered Amur Leopard has been listed as ‘Threatened’ on the IUCN Red List since 1996. Just like leopards of other species, they live in fixed territories as loners, except in the breeding season. The Amur Leopard has a characteristic uniformly drawn thick fur that distinguishes it from other leopards.

Arctic wolf

Native to Greenland and North America and listed as ‘Vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List, the Arctic Wolf is comparatively smaller than other wolves and features a shorter snout. The thick white fur of these animals not only protect them against freezing temperatures, but also help them camouflage from their enemies.

Explore the Birds of Schönbrunn Zoo

Banana Quite

Native to Central and South America, the bananaquit has a gray to black coloured head and back with a yellow belly. These songbirds love granulated sugar, which is why they are fondly known as sugarbird. Having a curved narrow beak, these birds love to feed on flower nectar and insects.

Bearded Vultur

Already extinct in its native place, the Alps, the Bearded Vulture was reintroduced there in 1986 through a program in which Schönbrunn Zoo was also a part. These vultures have bristle-like long black feathers hanging down on both the sides of their lower as well as upper beak. The bearded vulture flaunts a striking reddish-brown plumage, which is the result of bathing in mud filled with iron oxide.

Blue-winged Pitta

One of the most beautiful birds to see with the Schönbrunn Zoo Tickets, the Blue-Winged Pitta is indegenous to southern Asia and migrates seasonally to Australia. These colorful birds tend to travel alone and can only be seen in pairs during their mating season. These birds generally stay on the ground during the daytime and have the ability to fly really fast, but for short distances.

Explore the Amphibians of Schönbrunn Zoo

African Digging Frog

The African digging frog is named so as its feet are shaped like shovels that help dig holes in the ground. The frogs are believed to survive better and for longer durations in these holes. Some of the enemies of these frogs are Nile monitors and pelicans and they jump and bite their opponents in order to defend themselves.

Cane toad

Native to the American continent, Cane toads were introduced in Barbados and Jamaica for safeguarding sugarcane crops against pests. These are one of the most common amphibians to see in the zoo with your zoo schönbrunn tickets. They hide themselves under tree stumps and stones in the daytime and come out to hunt at night.

West Indies bullfrog

Known as the largest frogs in the world, West Indies bullfrogs are best suited to moist areas with thick vegetation. The color of these frogs varies from light hazelnut brown to dark brown. The females lay eggs in foam nests and after hatching, they feed the unfertilized eggs to the tadpoles for 6 weeks. Because of their huge size of over 20 cm, they are eaten with pleasure, which has caused a reduction in their count by 80%.
