The Pachyderm House, built in 1989 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Zoo, is home to today&#8217;s largest land mammals, <strong>African savannah elephants<\/strong> with powerful tusks in danger of extinction. <strong>Eastern black rhinoceros<\/strong>, which are in a critical state in the wild, and the <strong>pygmy hippopotamus<\/strong> with a solitary and covert way of life, which is also in danger of extinction, also live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the list of predators, you can see beautiful high-legged cat <strong>caracals<\/strong> and always a vivid and ready-to-act <strong>family of meerkats<\/strong>. Mice are represented by the <strong>Asian<\/strong> <strong>minor spiny mice<\/strong>, <strong>Barbary striped mice<\/strong>, and <strong>domestic and laboratory rats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
