In today's global economic downturn, all walks of life are looking for ways to tide over the difficulties. The first of these is undoubtedly the tourism industry, such as zoos, which will cause shortages of funds because there are no tourists.
Usually different zoos will find ways to improve the situation, launch various preferential activities and what stimulate tourists to spend. Whether there is a practical role is not to be said, but recently in the Maruyama Zoo in Sapporo City, Japan, it rushed to the hot search because of an event, making the masses "addicted".
Although The Maruyama Zoo has already planned various parent-child activities before, and even joint professional manufacturers have tried to make the feces of elephants, giraffes and other animals in the park into fertilizer and sell them to the public, but there has not been much improvement.

This time, in early June, the zoo launched several gacha machines with the mentality of trying.
The egg gacha machine has long been a novelty, but the gacha launched by The Round Mountain Zoo this time is not an animal-shaped doll, etc., but contains the hair on the animal.
The price of a 500 yen gacha is the natural hair of the animals, so it was completely twisted by tourists in only 3 days, so that the egg machine placed in the zoo could only be picked up early.

Because it was quite novel and creative, and full of fun, this move also quickly attracted the attention of many media and variety shows, and a special interview program was made for it.

I have to say that the Maruyama Zoo is very good at catching this wave of enthusiasm, and in the next plan, the zoo has selected more animal hairs, including the hair on the forehead of the Shetland pony, the hair of the Hokkaido snow rabbit, and so on.
Even the skin left behind after the molting of animals such as snakes has a chance to be transferred.
And the zoo is also well versed in the principle of "rare things are precious", and many gacha eggs contain the hair of rare animals such as polar bears, which is almost like the excitement of pumping out SSRs for ten consecutive times when playing games!

In addition to hair and naturally shedding skin, the zoo has carefully prepared second-class gacha, something that animals have stepped on or used.
It is like the sacks used by Malay bears, cloth used by chimpanzees, sand stepped on by Asian elephants, and wood chips used by snow leopards to grind their claws.
Imagine moving to a place where rare animals have used or once set foot, as exciting as a blind box, and even more addictive for collectors.
Because of this event, many netizens also shared their own transfer to the various gacha on the Internet, and this netizen named "Xiao Nian" luckily transferred the hair of the polar bear.
There are not only small bottles of hair in the gacha, but also a brief introduction to this animal, which shows that the zoo is really very careful.
The netizen of "Xiao Lao" collected sacks of Malay bears, cloth of chimpanzees, and wood chips of snow leopards, and the sand of Asian elephants was missing.
The zoo's staff, Tsubasa, said that the original intention of launching this project was to hope that visitors would be able to take away the memories of visiting the zoo and increase their interest in the lives and cultivation of animals.
The garden party that launched this gacha with the mentality of trying did not expect to cause quite a stir. The staff of the follow-up zoo also said that they would implement more ideas and carry out the planning of the second bomb.
Because there are rare animals such as Siberian tigers and snow leopards in the zoo, many netizens are also very much looking forward to the surprises prepared by the next zoo.

The Round Hill Zoo also said that the proceeds from the sale of the gacha will be used to improve the welfare of the animals in the zoo, such as buying toys for the animals, improving the quality of food, etc., so that the animals can eat well and live well.
I have to say that this kind of project is really very good, not only allowing tourists to learn a lot of knowledge, but also allowing them to get real things, and the park can get income to improve the lives of animals.
One last joke: if I could twist the "dragon scales", it would really be asleep and laugh and wake up, hahaha!
