Animal Crossing

We are a zoo located in the city of Bogota. We rescued many animals are in poor condition or are in danger of extinction in order to preserve the species. our zoo animals feel very comfortable with the establishment. each animal has a specific area at the zoo, trying to simulate as much as possible to their natural habitat.

We are here:

Terrestrial

our zoo has several species of animals that are terrestrial. among these are:

1. Tapir

The tapir is endangered, it is a big animal, with short legs and elongated nose, similar to a small tube, the Tapirus bairdii is the only species inhabiting southeast Mexico, and can only find the odd copy after a search of several months.



Indiscriminate hunting, habitat destruction, low reproductive potential and its docility, have been the causes of the threat of extinction. Pronatura currently performs a number of activities to protect this species from extinction, but their implementation will take some time.

2. Panda:

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), is native to central China and lives in mountainous regions like Sichuan and Tibet, at an altitude of 3500 meters. Thanks to its strong and thick fur easily withstands winter conditions of their habitat. It is a mammal that feeds mainly on bamboo, but their diet also consists of fruits, small mammals, fish and insects.

The low birth rate, high infant mortality and habitat destruction are some of the most important factors that lead to the giant panda this endangered.

3. Marmoset

Titi is a species of monkey that lives in tropical Central America and South America. Marmoset monkeys differ from other by having two molars, instead of three, on each side of the upper jaw and with the exception of the thumb, by having claws, rather than fingernails, in every finger. The thumb is not opposable.

True marmosets are generally smaller than tamarins size. They inhabit the dense jungles of the Amazon. The best known species is the common marmoset, which measures 18 to 30 cm long not including the tail. The body coat is black and white, the head is round, his face black, and has white ear tufts. Also, the tail can be as long as the body. Most marmosets are considered endangered species, mainly due to habitat destruction.

Aquatic Animals

1. Napoleón Fish

Its name comes from its apparent similarity to a certain feature of its French namesake. It is one of the largest fish of the coral reefs and find it on the Pacific islands and parts of the Indian Ocean. The addition to the above characterized his status as a hermaphrodite, changing from one sex to another as they mature. Because of the long time it takes for this process, this fish is rare in itself and added that fishermen can easily catch, their numbers are declining.

2. Sea Otter

The thick fur of otters allows them to survive in extreme temperatures, which was also the main attraction for hunters in the early twentieth century. Marketing of skin brought down the population of a million to less than 2,000 in the past. Despite his eventual recovery with about 3, 000 on the coast of California now, the species remains in danger. The oil spill, loss of habitat, entanglement in fishing nets and their elimination due to consumption of seafood are some of the reasons for its decline.

3. Dudong

Close cousin of the manatee and related to elephants, is another big vegetarian who lives in the Indo Pacific. Although currently legally protected, for years he was the victim of fishermen who ate his flesh and profited from its oil, bones and teeth. Like manatees are threatened by pollution and ships.
