Você já ouviu falar de um Pademelon escuro? Você sabia que existem cangurus que vivem em árvores? Você está ciente do anfíbio com o apelido muito infeliz, o 'Scrotum Frog'? O zoológico de Chester está desafiando os visitantes a "descobrir algo novo" neste meio período de fevereiro, pois seus especialistas em educação em conservação iluminam as espécies menos conhecidas do zoológico. Período de nove dias, as famílias podem esperar ser inspiradas por espécies bizarras e muitas vezes esquecidas, como o Ibis Scarlet, sapos de frango da montanha, tândegas gigantes e pademelões escussos, entre dezenas de outros. O zoológico não é apenas sobre pinguins, girafas, leões e tigres, há um mundo inteiro de espécies surpreendentes esperando para serem descobertas. Deixe os olhos antes, ou talvez nunca soubesse que eles existiam. Neste meio período de fevereiro, estamos colocando um holofote muito merecido em todos esses animais e plantas maravilhosos. Nível novo, transformando sua visita em uma aventura cheia de ação, onde eles podem atender a alguns dos animais mais ameaçados do mundo.
From 19 – 27 February, the conservation and education charity is hosting a range of inspirational animal talks and activities to introduce visitors to some of the world’s most unusual animals.
With more than 100 different sessions spread across a nine-day period, families can expect to be inspired by bizarre and often overlooked species such as the scarlet ibis, mountain chicken frogs, giant anteaters and dusky pademelons, among dozens of others.
Ceri Cambridge, Learning Operations Manager at Chester Zoo, said:
“If you think you’ve seen it all at the zoo it’s time to think again! A trip to the zoo is not just about the penguins, giraffes, lions and tigers, there’s a whole world of surprising species waiting to be discovered.
“From the illusive okapi, striking gaboon vipers and colourful great green macaws to exquisite dusky pademelon, carnivorous plants and dancing sifaka lemurs, we share our planet with so many incredible species that many people might never have set eyes on before, or maybe never even knew they existed. This February half term we’re putting a much deserved spotlight on all of these wonderful animals and plants.
“Visitors can download a trail guide which will take them on an exciting tour to see some of these unusual species, and our team of Zoo Rangers is hosting a range of quick-fire talks and in-depth discovery sessions to help people to uncover all there is to know about these weird and wonderful animals. Some may wish to take their experience to a whole new level by turning their visit into an action-packed adventure where they can meet some of the world’s most endangered animals.
“We hope that by highlighting the species that aren’t always in the forefront of people’s minds, visitors will learn about their diminishing numbers in the wild, and how supporting our charity zoo can help to prevent their extinction.”
