 "A bridge too far" by Nathalie_B
In September 17 1944 the British 2nd parachutists battalion of Lt. Colonel John Frost arrived to the bridge ( now called the John Frost Bridge) which they were suppose to defense for 48 hours ,then other troops would arrive too. Unfortunately it wasn’t a successful battle and the expected help never made it to Arnhem. After four days of the battle a very few soldiers that survived became prisoners.
The bridge you see now is the same bridge. Every year veterans are coming to Arnhem and Oosterbook for the commemoration.
Read the story of battle of Arnhem written by John Frost, who survived the war and returned home in the Spring of 1945. John Frost's story (click General and then Battle of Arnhem) Leave a Comment

 Lori taking Pictures by Waalewiener
incredible beautiful fall colours that were in the trees ,it looks just about half peak time for the trees to show the colours of their leaves before the winds will blow them off the trees.I guess early October is beautiful time of the year.
Looks like Lori is in having great fun here, with her new camera. Leave a Comment

 silverback by belgianchocolate
habitat : they live in the forest of west africa. They are highly endangered.
In Arnhem when i visited there was a group of 7 individuals. One dominant male and 3 females with their youngsters. The group is doing well. They got a spacious island outside where you can admire them when you are in a cage.
Here the male is often find near the public. He is more the macho type of man and he doesn't like his females to be too close near the public and the windows. A great opportunity to take pictures. Leave a Comment Directions: The neighbours of the chimpanzees.

 chimps by belgianchocolate
Till that time that wasn't done. It was new , because zoo's considered these animals as dangerous. They where mostly kept alone or as a couple in small cages.
The beginning was hard for the group. None of the animals where used living in a social group. Especially raising up the youngster . It is so that how smarter an animal is how more they have to learn. Young chimpanzees learn from there mother and other groupmembers how to raise a baby.
When the group had their 25th birthday a little book was published with funny storys that had happened during this period.
-Altough Arnhem chimpanzees have lived in a group from around 30 animals , they do know each others names. When the keepers shouts a name to throw some food at the chimps , the others move fast to sit near that animal.
-there was an experiment going on , the chimps had to place different volumes on each other to reach for some food. When the saw where the food was coming from , they simply had build a bridge over the water.
Please read 'chimpanseepolitiek' 'chimps politics' by Frans de Waal , a highly readable book with a family saga in it - completely based on the research of the Arnhem chimp group. Leave a Comment

In the eighties a new way of displaying animals became popular. A few animals together from the same area in a larger enclosure.
1988 the Bush and in 1994 Burgers desert opened. Recently there was also an ocean added...
But please keep on reading if we are going to take a closer look at the exhibits...
