Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxon zoos and animal parks do not remain inactive in the corona lockdown.
In order to pass the animals' time without visitors, more sophisticated hiding places are chosen for the food.
Dresden Zoo has put a television set in front of the glass window for its orangutan Toni.
In the nature conservation zoo Görlitz the macaws listen to the radio and some zoo residents like the trample are currently allowed to roam freely.
“Some zoo animals also see the visitors as an enrichment of their habitat and interact with them in different ways,” reports Bärbel Schroller, head of the “Zoo of the Minis” in Aue.
Wolfgang Ludwig, zoological director in Dresden, does not want to attach this to animal species, but to individuals.
Due to their biography, individual animals have a stronger bond with people: “But there are also animals that naturally like to observe and are therefore interesting for visitors.
The fun and joy of observing is missing now. "
