The Ice Age Game Reserve Neandertal is a 23-hectare game reserve founded in 1935 in the Neandertal near Düsseldorf.
The animals living in the game reserve, Heck cattle, Heck horses and bison, live under largely natural conditions. At the time of the Neanderthals, there were also bison here, as well as the aurochs and tarpan horses, which were extinct in historical times and served as hunting prey for prehistoric people. The Heck cattle and horses are replica breeds that are supposed to resemble the aurochs and wild horses in appearance and behavior. These are misleadingly equated with the wild form on the information boards.
