Surprise in Siberia: Following the Corona closure, a wave of baby boomers is huge among Siberia's central zoo owners. According to Andre Gurban, the zoo manager, “The closure has caused a lot of disturbed animals to meet each other more, which has caused a huge wave of flips and births.

"For example, our reindeer bred, new hoodie monkeys were born, very rare Egyptian light ducks laid eggs, and llamas also lingered. It was completely quiet in the garden because of the closure and it turns out that for some of these quiet animals it is easier to mate," said the zoo manager in a call. With Reuters. However, it turns out that the dramatic change and cessation of human movement has also created anxiety in some animals and a lack of understanding of what is happening.

"Ceasing visitors altogether at once has created anxiety for many animals, because their routine simply disappeared at once without them realizing what is happening. You see it under the pressure they exert, at the looks they send to caregivers in various cages. Some animals, too, are looking for contact with humans. "For example, our camels have started escorting their caregiver wherever they go. The camels are also turning and responding to every garden worker passing by their cage," Gurban said.

The closure declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March also poses financial difficulties for garden workers and according to the director, perhaps the Russian public is coping so well with the closure but the zoo has a budget pit. However, the team itself is happy with the large amount of new litter and castings and the general atmosphere of animal regeneration.
