Cologne Zoological Garden

Initially, the zoo's financial track was a successful start, but the World Wars in Germany resulted in phases of stagnation. World War I and the Great Depression resulted in economic losses and development slowdown, and many animals suffered from a lack of food supply. Shortly after World War II the zoo had to close for two years entirely, after being heavily destroyed.
