The Zoo's facebook site even started a PolarNews to show the 1,5 year old twins everyday life. (The Zoo has 318 thousand followers) The polar twins were born in the Zoo, which was a real sensation, as saving the species is a huge challenge. These cute looking, playful animals are so popular that the Zoo could raise money to support an NGO that studies polars in their natural habitat.
The Ice World focuses not only on showcasing the Arctit and Antartica, but also to raise awarness on climate change and pollution. The seal lions's show is the other favourite .. and not olny for children.
These playful animals learn to clap, jump, play with balls and demonstrate that litter should not be in the ocean.
Visitors can also watch keepers brush the sea lions' teeth, a training exercise that helps monitor the animals' health. Zoo staff explain that the brown colour of their teeth is natural and forms a protective layer that can help prevent dental disease.
