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.
