点评:For everyone complaining about visibility of animals: this is an intrinsic trait of a modern zoo, trying to mimic natural environments. Most animals (there's always exceptions) don't like it to lie close to the glass panels with loud loud peoplw behind it!
This is one of very few zoos that has several separated large enclosurea for big cats. Most of them being solitary for most of the year, this allows for natural behaviour. By the way, natural bahaviour for cata ia to sleep up to 20 houra per 24 hrs. Just look at the enclosure and think where you would lie down in the shade relatively out of sight. Significant chance you will find the cat there!
Smartly, this Zoo has chosen animals that cam endure cold, or are small enough to be kept inside under good conditions. That means you will not find giraffe, zebra, or elephant, but rather Takin, onager, musk oxen and reindeer. Most enclosures are pretty and certainly large, fulfilling animal requirements. Plenty of educational panels about the animals but also nature in general.
As the park is on an island, there is plenty of nature around outside the enclosures and one can sit down at the rocky beach with a view on Helsinki.
The only "negative" comment: the glass viewing panels reflect strongly, especially in summer. Making a simple roof above the viewing points would easily fix that and probably save a lot of stains and smears on the glass panels from people trying to create a view with their hands.
Absolutely recommendable Zoo!
翻译:对于所有抱怨动物可见度低的人:这是现代动物园的固有特征,试图模仿自然环境。大多数动物(总有例外)不喜欢躺在玻璃板附近,后面还有吵闹的人!
这是为数不多的几个为大型猫科动物设立独立大型围栏的动物园之一。它们一年中的大部分时间都是独居的,这让它们能够自然地活动。顺便说一句,猫科动物的自然行为是每24小时睡眠时间长达20小时。看看这个围栏,想想你会在哪里躺在相对隐蔽的阴凉处。你很有可能在那里找到猫科动物!
这家动物园很聪明地选择了耐寒的动物,或者体型足够小,可以在良好的条件下饲养在室内。这意味着你不会看到长颈鹿、斑马或大象,而是羚牛、野驴、麝牛和驯鹿。大多数围栏都很漂亮,而且很大,可以满足动物的需求。园内有很多关于动物和自然的科普展板。
由于公园建在岛上,围栏外有很多自然景观,人们可以坐在岩石海滩上欣赏赫尔辛基的景色。
唯一的“缺点”是:玻璃观景板反光强烈,尤其是在夏天。在观景台上方加个简单的屋顶就能轻松解决这个问题,而且很可能还能避免人们用手在玻璃板上留下污渍和污渍。
绝对值得推荐的动物园!
