What are zoos and why are they important?
Zoos are places where there are exotic animals in captivity, protected from hunting by man. In them, many species, most of them in danger of extinction, receive care for their preservation. Each of them lives in a space similar to their original habitat in order to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
The trip to the zoo helps to promote in the child a love for nature and care for the environment. During this activity, it is important to explain about the consequences caused by the disappearance of a species and about the alteration in balance this can cause in the animal kingdom.
The main function of zoos is to help preserve species of fauna and flora. That’s why it’s so important that these enclosures are kept in good condition and that the animals have a decent life inside them, with proper veterinary care and the necessary food. With luck, many of these specimens will be able to mate and have new offspring in captivity.
Children like this place because they see exotic animals that they certainly only know from books or their favorite movies. In many zoos, there are areas dedicated exclusively to snakes, which are a favorite species of children.
In addition, there are also exclusive spaces for birds, aquatic animals and mammals, among others. It is our duty to keep these areas in good condition and transmit to our children respect for the well-being of any living being.
How to make the zoo tour an incredible experience?
For a trip to the zoo to be an unforgettable experience, it is necessary to keep in mind some considerations that favor this trip. In this way, nothing will impede the possibility of enjoying the experience of walking and getting to know the animal kingdom offered by this magnificent place.
talk before going to the zoo
Talking to children about animals and their importance in nature is an excellent tool so that, when they can see them, they understand how valuable they are. This is the time to show the love and respect that fauna and flora deserve.
On the other hand, it is important to remind the child about the rules imposed by the zoo on its visitors. For example: do not put your hands in the cages, knock on the glass or throw food to the animals without authorization or supervision. In this way, you will also teach good habits so that, in the future, the little one becomes a good citizen.
Check priorities
Ideally, ask the child which animals he likes the most or which he most wants to see. From there, it is possible to plan the route. In this way, the little one will feel content and consider themselves important, because their interests have had priority.
take what is necessary
We must keep in mind that we will spend a good number of hours on the journey to the zoo. Certainly, the little ones will be hungry and thirsty. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare snacks containing citrus fruits, sandwiches or biscuits and do not forget to bring a bottle of water, as well as a garbage bag to dispose of the waste generated.
Protection above all
It is important to protect your skin with a sunscreen. In addition, as animals and their food often draw the attention of mosquitoes and mosquitoes, it is also necessary to apply repellent.
As for clothes, the ideal is to wear comfortable pieces and, in the case of children, they should wear brightly colored clothes so they can be easily identified if they are lost from sight. It is important that the little one carries light weight. That way, he won’t get tired when walking.
Walking in the zoo is an activity that is not limited to a specific age. If your child is young, this tour will help you discover new shapes, colors, smells and shapes. At the same time, if you are of school age, the tour will reinforce the respect and consideration for the environment, which make up each person’s ecological awareness.
