New Lions - UP CLOSE - Lincoln Park Zoo - Pepper Family Wildlife Center - Oct 1 2021 Chicago 【4K】

Описание

The new lion house at Lincoln Park Zoo is fabulous, and so are the lions. A 3-year-old male lion, Jabari, from Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa; and three sisters, Zari, Cleo and Hasira, from Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in South Carolina. On March 15 2022, 3-year-old African lion Zari gave birth to a lion cub as part of the African Lion Species Survival Plan®.


"Design of the new lion habitat was informed by data collected over the last several years on lion behavior, space use, and preference, using the Lincoln Park Zoo-created behavior monitoring app, ZooMonitor. The savanna-style lion habitat spans the full northern side of the building and includes intricate rockwork to increase vertical complexity and environmental choices for the lions while providing embedded heating and cooling elements for a climate controlled habitat. Climbing tree structures and deadfall were made from Forest Stewardship Council-certified trees. Guests will have immersive viewing opportunities from both inside and outside Pepper Family Wildlife Center."
