You may observe a lioness in a separate area from the main group. This structure is called an acclimatization cage and is part of a routine process for introducing new animals to pre-established groups, especially in the case of large predators. Therefore, it is used during introductions between individuals or at key moments in handling, such as the arrival of a new individual or the reinforcement of social bonds. This process allows the animals to see, hear, and smell each other without direct physical contact, facilitating gradual adaptation and reducing the risk of conflict or stress. The duration of this period is determined by the veterinary and animal care team and will depend on the animals' behavior, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. During this time, the animal has access to environmental enrichment, food, and resting areas, and their physical and emotional status is continuously monitored by the team. Your patience and understanding are key to helping us provide the best possible care.
