It is noted that the death of fish and other aquatic creatures was prevented.

“In the “Aquarium” section, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Generators kick in during power outages, which can happen in cold weather. All this is done to provide them with oxygen on a continuous 24/7 basis.

In addition, the general temperature in the room where our animals are kept is provided by the central heating system, day and night video surveillance and the duty of the staff allows to always be aware of how the residents feel,” the official report reads.

Cold-resistant animals are kept under the open sky. In particular, there is an underground heating system in the “Terrarium”, “Predators” and “Primates” sections. Also, the entrance between the outer and inner parts of the enclosure is always open so that the animals can walk in the fresh air, and in case of rain, they can walk indoors. Natural heating pads made of straw are placed in some animal cages.
