Carl Hagenbeck, often considered the father of the modern zoo
Carl Hagenbeck (June 10, 1844 - April 14, 1913) was a merchant of wild animals who supplied many European zoos, as well as Barnum. He is often considered the father of the modern zoo because he introduced "natural" animal enclosures that included recreations of animals' native habitats without bars.[1] Hagenbeck founded Germany's most successful privately owned zoo, the Tierpark Hagenbeck, which moved to its present location in Hamburg's Stellingen quarter in 1907. However, his pioneer role in displaying human beings aside animals, in what has been called "human zoos," is less well known.
