HAGENBECK, CARL wild-animal collector and dealer, was born at Hamburg. In 1848 his father purchased some seals and a Polar bear brought to Hamburg by a whaler, and subsequently acquired other wild animals. Carl was given the whole collection in 1865, and extended the business so that in 1873 he had to erect large buildings. In 1875 he began to exhibit animals representative of many countries throughout all the large cities of Europe. The educational value of these exhibitions was recog nized by the French government, which in 1891 awarded him the diploma of the Academy. He died at Hamburg on April 14, 1913. Hagenbeck's Zoo at Stellingen, near Hamburg, is renowned for its planning which, like that of Yellowstone National Park (q.v.), enables spectators to observe the animals apparently in their natural surroundings and at liberty.
