Informationen
Wild animals are all animal species that are not normally kept in human care. Such animals are dangerous if handling them can lead to injury or damage due to their peculiar dispositions or behavior (e.g. lions, tigers, bears, large or poisonous snakes). The specific characteristics of the individual animal (good-naturedness, tameness) are not relevant for the justification of the permit requirement.
The State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration, in coordination with the State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection, regularly publishes a list of examples to facilitate the classification of animals kept.
