In the cold winter of the ninth, people wore down jackets and thick cotton clothes to resist the cold weather, and in the animal kingdom of Oulebao in Quancheng, Qihe County, Dezhou City, those animals from the northern and southern hemispheres also opened the "cat winter" mode under the care of breeders.
In the spacious greenhouse, giraffes from Africa eat leisurely forage, and a dozen giraffes stand together without being crowded at all. The indoor temperature of 20 degrees Celsius makes these long-necked "friends" from Africa not feel the cold of northern China at all.
Kangaroos from Australia sit around the trough and eat the oilweed, carrots, cabbage and purple onions carefully prepared by the keepers. The same is the floor heating and air conditioning room, compared with the primate kingdom of those red-faced spider monkeys from the South American rainforest, white-faced monk monkey greenhouses, the indoor temperature of 15 degrees Celsius is already considered "low temperature".
Cute little cuties from the southern hemisphere are not necessarily afraid of the cold, and in the wild they adjust the altitude of their habitat according to the seasons.
In addition to the comfort of living, in terms of diet structure, the animals of the Animal Kingdom of Orenburg are also full of welfare.
The Nutrition Center of the Animal Kingdom of Orenburg is to meet the needs of animals to increase animal energy feed for wintering, and at the same time, according to different animals, fresh fruits and vegetables are added accordingly, supplementing the vitamins needed by animals. At the same time, a variety of vitamins and minerals are added to the refined feed to meet the nutritional needs of animals that are raised indoors for a long time.
The red pandas in the cute pet adventure area are cute and cute, and the keepers not only prepare ingredients such as apples, nest heads, carrots, fresh bamboo leaves, etc., but also string the food together, like a sugar gourd, so that they can feel the "New Year's taste" in advance.
The round and rolling giant pandas are the "animal stars" of the animal kingdom, leisurely eating fresh bamboo in the warm sunbathing, climbing up and down on the rides.
"Although the giant panda is an animal in southern China, it is not afraid of the cold." Xu Yang, executive deputy general manager of Quancheng Oulebao Animal Kingdom, said that the giant panda has thick fur protection and can calmly face the cold of winter, in fact, around 5 degrees Celsius in winter, the panda's body feeling is the most suitable, so for it in winter, vitality and mental state are the best throughout the year. "For the safety of the giant pandas in winter, every day we airlift bamboo leaves from Sichuan." Xu Yang said that in the winter, in order to increase the energy of the giant panda, the breeders will appropriately add some energy feed and vitamin-rich fruits to meet its winter nutritional requirements.
There are many ways to protect against the cold in zoos, but not all animals need to be protected from the cold. According to the staff of the Animal Kingdom, cold-loving animals such as the national first-class protected animals such as the Siberian tiger, the golden retrievers, and the white-lipped deer are definitely colder and happier, and there are animals like brown bears and black bears that bring their own "warm underwear", and no matter how cold they are, tourists can also see their free activities outdoors in winter.
