Eisbären offspring in the Karlsruhe Zoo: Christmas magic without stress!

In the Karlsruhe Zoo, the "Christmas Garden" causes excitement! Timo Daible, the spokesman for the Zoological City Garden, calms the concerned minds: "The Christmas Garden is a very quiet event." He emphasizes that the event has no greater influence on the polar bear than any other day. But what is really behind this statement?

noises and their effects

The city's background noise during the day is loud, much louder than the nightly sounds of Christmas Garden, despite the many visitors. Daible explains that the animals are used to the everyday noises. But it is the sudden, loud noises, such as sirens of emergency vehicles that can scare the animals. The organizers have also ensured that the route of the light show deals with the polar bear enclosure so that the animals are not disturbed.

The first months of the polar bear babies are of crucial importance. The zoo suspects that at least one of the young animals still lives. Nuka, the polar bear, chose an outer cave for the birth, which was surprising for the zoo. Usually polar bears prefer closed interiors in which they can safely hide their boys. In nature, an outdoor cavity has many dangers for the survival of the little ones. The situation remains tense while the zoo employees closely observe the development of the young animals.
