Mengele Zoo is a novel from 1989 by the Norwegian author Gert Nygårdshaug.

The story is about "Mino Aquiles Portoguesa" who is born in a village in Latin America's rain forests.

The book deals with topics such as environmental protection, north-south conflict and imperialism, and how you choose to prioritize their values.

Despite the fact that Mengele Zoo describes the world as seen from one of the earth's most wanted terrorists' eyes, it is easy for the reader to take sides with "Mino" throughout the book.

The book was voted "people's all time favourite" at the festival Lillehammer litteraturfestival in 2007.
