- This baby zebra was born early this Friday morning.
- It happens that this park has also just received its authorization to reopen.
- From Saturday morning, visitors will be able to walk in the 5 ha of this space located by the ocean, respecting the barrier gestures.
A reopening authorization fell Thursday evening, and a birth Friday morning. Life is good at the Labenne zoo in the Landes.
"We were warned in the early morning by a nurse of the birth of a baby zebra, our first," says site director Véronique Darrieulat. For us it is a very moving moment. "
Especially since it falls the day after the authorization to reopen the zoo, granted by the Landes prefecture following the announcements of the second phase of deconfinement.
"It was starting to get complicated for us"
"We were impatient, because we had sent a reopening request on May 6, and we only received approval last night," continues Véronique Darrieulat. It was starting to get complicated, because even though we closed on March 15, our team of caregivers obviously continued to work since we had to take care of the animals. And we only live with the entrances and the shop. "
This will have given the park time to prepare. “The mask will be strongly recommended inside the park, but not compulsory, specifies the director, but it will be necessary to respect the safety distance of one meter between each family. We installed a demarcation at ground level to enforce these distances. People in the crate will wear a mask, and will be protected by a plexiglass. We will ask customers to favor the bank card for payments. However we had to close our playground for children. "
A 5-hectare park, the Labenne zoo, located in the heart of the Landes forest, by the ocean, presents 200 animals for 60 species. "In a space like this, in the open air, it will be easier to enforce sanitary measures," hopes Véronique Darrieulat. The reopening of the site is scheduled for this Saturday, from 10 a.m.
