点评:What a fantastic day at Hamsley Conservation Centre! Though it’s a small facility, there’s still such a unique diversity of species to see and enjoy learning about. As zookeepers ourselves, it was refreshing to see a facility take so much pride in their conservation efforts, and allowing for a naturalistic experience while visiting. We saw so many amazing animals and was very impressed with the educational outreach work they had in place - from keeper talks to even the informative signs around each enclosure.
We also want to give a big thank you to Ben, who led us for the tapir feed and talked to us during the individual animal talks. He was very informative and passionate about the animals he cared for.
The cafe staff member was also very lovely! She made sure we were well looked after and was just a genuinely nice person, so thank you. The food was also amazing and very reasonable, highly recommend!!
Top tip: definitely have a few trips around the park. If you can’t see an animal on your first walk around, you probably will the second time. And aiming to get to the keeper talks is always a good bet you’ll see more illusive species, like the maned wolves.
And a last thank you to the kind gentleman who let us in for free as we were keepers at another collection - it was greatly appreciated!!
翻译:在汉姆斯利自然保护中心度过了极其美好的一天!虽然这里规模不大,但依然有种类繁多、各具特色的物种可供观赏与了解。作为动物园饲养员,我们深感欣慰:这家保护中心对自身的保护工作引以为豪,还致力于为游客打造贴近自然的环境体验。我们看到了许多可爱的动物,他们对科普教育工作也做得非常出色——从饲养员的讲解,到每个围栏周围的信息牌,都让我们印象深刻。
我们还要特别感谢本,他带领我们观看了貘的喂食过程,还在各个动物的介绍环节中与我们悉心交流。他对所照料的动物们充满热情且了解甚多。
咖啡馆的工作人员也特别友善可爱!她悉心照顾我们,人也非常友善,真的非常感谢她。那里的食物也美味可口且价格实惠,强烈推荐!!
小贴士:一定要在公园里多转几圈。如果第一次游览时没看到什么动物,第二次很可能就能看到了。此外,尽量去听饲养员的讲解,这样就更有可能见到那些较难见到的物种,比如鬃狼。最后,要感谢那位好心的先生,因为我们是另一家收藏馆的管理员,他让我们免费入内——真的非常感谢!!
