Summer gifts are delivered to animals to please new "furniture"

In Chengdu Zoo, almost every animal's home has an inseparable "furniture" -the rack. This kind of "furniture" is tailor -made according to the characteristics of different animals after the breeding managers have enough understanding of animals.

For example, an anteloper ’s habitat, stacked with stones, is strong and stable, which meets the needs of antelope climbing; the raccoon habitat, use hollow cement pipes as the foundation, can hide and hide, and provide a shelter for the raccoon; panda panda; The habitat has become the most comfortable sofa under the air conditioner.

The habitat in the zoo exhibition area first needs to meet the needs of animals in terms of function, and secondly hopes to improve the landscape effect of the exhibition area. The choice of the animal's habitat is like we buy furniture for our own small home.

Therefore, some steel pipe habitats that were unnaturally unnatural in visual senses, as well as the lack of functional and uniform thickness of the fir frames, have become the main targets of this replacement. First of all, selecting different thickness of natural trunk on the selection of the habitat, natural materials can achieve the best landscape effect. In addition, the trunk also has different diameter and forks, which can meet different needs of each animal's behavior, differences, and different needs in the same animal groups.

In order to enhance the supporting facilities of the living and activity space of animals and the restrictions on the conditions of existing venue, Chengdu Zoo has improved the utilization rate of limited space by setting up a habitat. High and low -falling habitats will provide more choices for animals to improve the utilization of display space, and at the same time, it also provides guarantees for group breeding animals by occupying different heights to indicate the status of the community. The conditions for providing community status for animals are conducive to maintaining a harmonious relationship in the population and reducing the occurrence of attacks between animals. It can also give animals the opportunity to stay in high places, that is, the position of the flat line higher than the visual line of tourists, which helps relieve the pressure on the visits of animals.

At the same time, animals master the balance of motion is one of the best display content for tourists, showing the unique beauty of animals. In other words, activity habitats are also a challenge for animals, making animals seem to confront the wild and environment, and to exercise the body and mind of animals through confrontation.
