How Zoos Keep Their Animals Smart, Active, and Happy! | Zoo Life (2/2)

Many exotic animals that are threatened in the distant wilderness find a refuge in zoos in Europe. But zoos cannot replace nature. To ensure that zoo inhabitants feel at home, modern zoos in Germany have to break new ground. After all, if the animals grow up healthy and fit, they can also have fun, experience adventures and have offspring. Zoos therefore come up with many things to keep the senses of their charges sharp. Keepers hide food and build devices that make it more difficult to find treats. Many zoo animals are also given surprising toys so that they don't get bored while in human care. In this documentary, the viewer experiences up close and in surprising perspectives how polar bears play with surfboards as if they were ice floes. Giraffes perform tongue acrobatics on a bucket mobile. Gorillas use sticks as tools to grab food. Kea parrots, on the other hand, use their beaks to deftly disassemble any offered toy into its component parts. Surprisingly, even hundred-year-old turtles receive memory training. And even a boxfish wants to be kept busy in the aquarium. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:10 - Polar Bear ▷ 06:02 - Giraffe ▷ 09:23 - Kea Parrot ▷ 12:20 - Porcupinefish ▷ 16:27 - Tufted Capuchin ▷ 19:21 - Galápagos Tortoise ▷ 21:22 - Western Lowland Gorilla ▷ 25:05 - Octopus ▷ 28:01 - Hippopotamus ▷ 31:37 - Asian Elephant ▷ 36:43 - Lion ▷ 39:30 - Bonobo ▷ 43:11 - Bottlenose Dolphin ▷ 47:12 - Koala ▷ 51:34 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #zoo #zoodocumentary #wildlifeconversation #wildliferescue #zootour #animalbehavior #animalplanet ------- Watch part 1 here: https://youtu.be/S1RAwMwwxaI Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Original title: Fit for Fun | Zoo Life (2/2) A film by Herbert Ostwald © 2021, Licensed by Albatross ------- Videos about animals, aquatic life and nature: wocomoWILDLIFE offers high-quality entertainment.
