A look behind the scenes of the zookement in the Berlin Zoo

In the Berlin Zoo there are currently numerous challenges that the zookeepers have to deal with. Responsibility for the well -being of the animals is always the top priority. One of the most important tasks includes maintaining and cleaning special aquariums. The jellyfish cylinder, a unique pool that was specially designed for this zoo, plays a central role.

adieu to the jellyfish

The jellyfish cylinder is waiting for comprehensive cleaning. In order to achieve this, the dotted root mouth jellyfish must first be switched safely into another pool. This process requires skill and care on the part of the zookeepers who have to face the challenge by climbing into the so -called jellyfish. The task may seem easy at first glance, but is associated with a lot of responsibility, since the sensitive jellyfish must not be violated.

visit to the vet for the problem child ine

Another interesting aspect of this week is the health check of the older pointed meals. The 25-year-old lady is considered a problem child because her appetite currently subsides and noticeably loses weight. Animal keeper Carsten Schwend relies on a positive approach and trains with Ine to help her voluntarily position herself to take a blood. Clicker training is used in which a clicking sound serves as a reward for the correct behavior. This method shows how important it is to respond to the needs and well -being of the animals.

playful learning in the zoo

While a lot of concentration is required in the area of ​​the aquariums and at INE, the participation of other animals such as bonobos, tapire and orangutans ensures a cheerful atmosphere. Squeaking balls arouse the interest of the bonobos, and learn the tapir in a playful way with a ball filled with food. These activities are crucial because they encourage the animals mentally and help them live out their natural behaviors. A group of Orang-Utans is even busy bouncing grasshoppers, which simulates their hunting behavior and lets them interact with each other.

conclusion: The importance of commitment and training

The processes in the Berlin Zoo impressively show how important commitment and correct training are for health and well -being of the animals. Both when maintaining the aquariums and health checks, it becomes clear that the work of the zookeepers requires a high degree of empathy and specialist knowledge. The Berlin Zoo sets high standards to ensure this and offers the animals an environment that corresponds to their natural behavior and improves their quality of life.
