You can walk in the green sea, swim in the flowers, paddle in the sand, and adventure in the cave.

Historical evolution

Since 1996, Ningbo municipal government has been planning to build a wildlife park. In 1998, a mountain village near guojiashi village on the Bank of Dongqian Lake came into view. Entrusted by the government, Youngor Group has entrusted the park with private investment, implemented enterprise operation, and locked in the operation of Youngor Group, which has strong strength and good reputation. Therefore, the zoo is named "Youngor".

Animals include giant panda, golden monkey, golden takin, gibbon, black leaf monkey, Asian elephant, Red Crowned Crane, Siberian tiger, Malay bear, Chinese alligator, white necked pheasant and other rare animals in China have settled here one after another; in addition, there are giraffe, rhinoceros, zebra, hippo, lemur, spotted lemur, brown lemur, chimpanzee, mandrill, antelope and white lion from Africa Kangaroo from Australia, flamingo, camel, squirrel monkey, black palm spider monkey, toucan from America, white tiger and hornbill from Asia. Nearly ten thousand animals have their own unique and warm "home". The tricolor dog from Africa will live in an Aboriginal style library. The crocodile will swim in the water corridor, and the peacock's home will be in the Dai bamboo house.

Characteristics of the park

The pleasure of boating in the garden

The zoo makes full use of the geographical advantages of large water area and vertical and horizontal water system in the area. It is the first domestic zoo aquatic animal tour line. Visitors can take a boat rowing on the clear lake to enjoy the herbivores scattered on both sides of the Strait and the primates on the island.

Striving for 4A travel area

In order to comprehensively improve the service quality and better serve the tourists, Ningbo Youngor zoo recently started to create AAAA tourist area on the basis of being rated as AAA tourist area.

A is the quality grade mark of tourist attractions, which is divided into four grades, with 4A as the highest grade. The evaluation contents include service, environment, landscape quality and tourist satisfaction. Since its opening, Youngor zoo has attracted nearly 400000 tourists, becoming a popular tourist attraction in Ningbo and a new star in the domestic zoo industry. In order to do a good job in the construction work, the zoo has set up a leading group for the construction work, formulated the construction plan, and organized two investigation groups to study in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. The double certification work of ISO9000 quality assurance system and ISO14000 environmental management system, which are closely related to the establishment work, has also started.

Hot news in 2008

The animals in Ningbo Youngor zoo do not hibernate this year.

It is understood that in Ningbo Youngor zoo, crocodiles and snakes are used to hibernating, and bears will be semi hibernating in winter and "hide" themselves. But careful animal breeders found that compared with wild animals, the animals in the park eat little, so in the process of hibernation, many animals will never wake up. In order to reduce the death rate of animals, the zoo decided to let all the hibernating animals live in the greenhouse, and at the same time, feed them appropriately to maintain their physical fitness.

In the happy theater, I saw an alligator lying quietly on the ground. Copper pipes were added around the pool to increase the temperature of the water body, and an electric heating plate was hung on the wall to increase the indoor temperature. The thermometer shows that the temperature of the alligator's room has reached 22.9 ℃; in the glass room where three boa constrictors live, the author found that in addition to the electric heating plate on the wall, there are two more quilts on the ground. The boa constrictors who like the dark get under the thick quilts and "cover" the quilts. Animal breeders told me that snakes are currently eating less, generally once a week; crocodiles are eating less, basically not feeding.

Then I came to xiongshan and found that it was quite busy. One of the black bears also bared his chest and abdomen, leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, with a leisurely look. Animal breeders said that in order to increase the energy in bears, the zoo fed them Wowotou food with milk powder; for antelopes and other herbivores, veterinarians added some traditional Chinese medicine in their food to enhance their immunity; for orangutans and other primates, they also fed some high-energy food such as brown sugar, red dates and peanuts.

Elephants and squirrel monkeys are the best treated animals in the zoo in winter. In the elephant Museum in Africa, an elephant was burning in front of a brazier while holding out his long nose to ask us for food. Elephant food is also quite rich: bananas, apples, sugar cane, wowowotou, oranges, tomatoes and so on. At night, elephants sleep in "small" rooms with air conditioning. In zoos, only squirrel monkeys and elephants enjoy the same treatment and spend the winter in air-conditioned rooms. Flamingos, toucans, parrots and other birds come out during the day and return to the room with electric heating plate at night.
