in the animal kingdom, the phenomenon of "wedding dresses" and "dresses" also exists. people often associate obesity in zoos with wedding dresses, triggering people's thinking about animals' posture and lifestyle. for example, at panzhihua zoo, leopards, black bears and other animals are obese, attracting attention from the outside world.
even if the weight of these animals is taken into account, there is no sign of starvation, which makes people wonder whether they are excessively obese or in a healthy state. among them, what we need to think about is how to balance the animal's activity needs and nutritional intake due to the zoo's space restrictions. what does this mean for the animal's health and lifespan?
the person in charge of the panzhihua zoo explained that this is because the animal's range of activities is limited due to the small space, and the animals gradually become obese due to eating more and moving less. they emphasized that the park does not allow visitors to feed the animals. “there are signs on the wall saying “no feeding to animals” and staff are on site (to remind).”
zoologists say that the leopard's wild activity area can reach dozens of square kilometers, but the space in the zoo is very limited and it is difficult to meet their needs for exercise. in this case, animals are prone to overnutrition and overweight.
although the animals are obese, they still maintain good physical condition, and keepers have been paying attention to their dietary needs, conducting regular physical examinations and adjusting feed amounts.
directors of the panzhihua zoo said they are working to improve the animals' space and reduce the weight burden on the animals by widening the leopards' farmhouses and changing feeding methods.
