We ensure temperature control for our animals throughout the year, providing them with safe spaces for various weather conditions:
- Lions: Their denboxes are equipped with heat in the winter and swamp coolers in the summer to keep them comfortable.
- Parrots: Their denboxes have heat in colder months, and for the more temperature-sensitive birds, heat lamps are available outside their enclosures. Misters help keep all birds cool during the summer.
- Tortoises: In warm weather, they burrow to stay cool and enjoy mud wallows to regulate temperature. Their denboxes have heat in the winter to ensure they stay warm.
- Ostriches & Emus: These birds have denboxes to escape inclement weather and misters in the summer to help them stay cool.
- Shaded Areas: Every animal habitat has shaded spots, which shift throughout the day as the sun moves.
These measures help keep all of our animal’s comfortable no matter the season! Let us know if you have more questions about how we care for them.
