Winter visits the Barcelona Zoo

Winter has come to Barcelona and it has also visited the zoo animals. So for this reason the zoo managers turn on the heating for the most sensitive animals and the other animals that aren’t used to the cold, such as mongoose, lions, birds, elephants, primates and giraffes.


The zoo managers have established more measures to prevents which animals from dying of cold, (fortunately has never happened). Some of the bedrooms have been left open all day, so the animals can be inside or outside according to their preferences, the animals have more material to make their own “beds”, and they can make them bigger and warmer, and they can go to sleep earlier.

So remember that if you want to visit the zoo during these cold days, you must take warm clothes. Also it’s better if you are lucky and go on a sunny day before dark because them more bedrooms are visible for the visitors.
