Life at the Orphanage
Morning Feeding
— Our keepers begin the day with bottle-feeding orphaned calves and cubs. This ensures young animals get the nutrition they need for healthy growth.
Enrichment Activities
— Enrichment sessions include play, training, and introducing natural elements like branches or water pools to stimulate instincts.
“Enrichment is key to animal welfare in captivity.”
Medical Check-ups
— Our veterinary team conducts health assessments, administers vaccines, and monitors progress of recovering animals.
Evening Calm
— As the sun sets, the animals return to their enclosures. Caretakers record daily observations for each orphan.
