Mysuru: Zoos that have accommodated larger apes from the decade of their cages following advice by experts from all over the world.
The iron grill of the room was replaced with stainless steel and the house height was being raised.
Modern houses for chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are assumed to be very suitable for apes in captivity.
The work is expected to be completed within six weeks.
The Chair of the Infosys Sudha Murty Foundation has sponsored an enhanced cage.
He checked the progress of work at the zoo recently.
We have separate parts for apes that have become a favorite place for visitors with guardian chimpanzees and teachers, and Gorilla Polo entertain visitors during their time.
They are star attractions from Mysuru Zoo for decades.
The zoo authority now has a plan to display all these great apes in a new atmosphere in accordance with international standards.
Houses are redesigned with stainless steel grills.
The decision for a gentle fence was taken when the ape hugged it almost all day when at home.
The source claimed the 129-year-old MySuru Zoo approached the zoo authority in Germany from where he had received apes including Polo in the 1980s, looking for apes.
That’s when experts set conditions and ask them to redesign the cage before handing over apes.
The source confirms that the zoo has received gorillas and orangutans that will be displayed after the cover is ready.
The Executive Director of the MySuru Zoo Ajit Kulkarni confirmed to the Toi that a larger ape house was being upgraded to meet the following international standards from experts.
“Repairs are made for existing cages that focus on comfort, safety, and animal hygiene.
Houses are sponsored by the Infosys Foundation and tend to operate in just a month,” he added.
