We can also make use of this period to learn something new. Animals at the zoos seem to enjoy this time a lot.

As it turns out, animals love meeting up with friends and befriending new friends. The dolphins and the sloth in this story are an example. They have different shapes, sizes, and habitats but they can still get along with each other from the first minutes. Although zoos closed doors during the pandemic, it's a perfect time for the "residents" here to get to know each other. They themselves can be tourists and guests to their neighbors. Little joyful visits make sense!

"We frequently give the animals a chance to "meet" each other as a form of enrichment, which helps keep them active in body and mind. As some of our most popular animals, it seemed an obvious choice for our sloths and dolphins to get a chance to see each other while we were temporarily closed. We have another sloth, Xena, but on that day, she was more interested in sleeping than meeting the dolphins!" Said the Aquarium staff.
