Aktuell keine Aufnahme von Greifvögeln im Gonsenheimer Wildpark
Zum Schutz der Wildpark-Tiere können aufgrund der akuten Verbreitung der Vogelgrippe derzeit keine Greifvögel im Gonsenheimer Wildpark aufgenommen werden.
Füttern nur mit Automatenfutter
Das Grün- und Umweltamt weist aus aktuellem Anlass ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass das Füttern der Tiere nur mit Automatenfutter gestattet ist. Das Füttern mit mitgebrachtem Futter ist nicht erlaubt - es stellt eine Gefährdung für die Tiere dar!
Futterspenden können gerne am Eingang in den Behälter gelegt werden. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis, die Tiere danken es Ihnen!
Gonsenheim Wildlife Park
Mainz Zoo consists of two facilities. In addition to Gonsenheim Wildlife Park, there are also the bird enclosures in Mainz City Park.
The wildlife park is located in the Mainz-Gonsenheim district, on Kirchstraße, in the immediate vicinity of the Lennebergwald nature reserve. Covering a total area of 3.1 hectares, the wildlife park has a forest-like character and is currently home to 14 different species and around 130 animals. These include red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, wild boar, wildcats, raccoons, ferrets, and poultry.
Special attractions at the wildlife park include Thuringian forest goats, German Sperber chickens, and Phoenix chickens.
They are on the Red List of endangered domestic animal breeds. The wildlife park has set itself the task of presenting endangered domestic animal breeds to the public.
The Mainz Wildlife Park is surrounded by a circular path that can be walked around without restriction. The mini zoo is home to rabbits and guinea pigs. The animals in the wildlife park may only be fed with special food, which can be purchased from vending machines for a small fee.
The wildlife park also has a bird of prey sanctuary. Injured native birds of prey can be brought there for further care.
The total population of Mainz Zoo (wildlife park and facilities in the city park) currently comprises around 24 species with approximately 230 animals.
