Wild Donkey In Xining Zoo Wears "Curled Shoes".

"Mom, why do animals wear curly shoes?"

Last weekend, at the Xining zoo, Xiao Wei looked at his mother, looking at his mother's little hoof.

What's going on here?

It turns out that animals, like humans, need to prune their nails regularly.

Animals such as wild donkeys and wild sheep living on the grasslands run and sharpen their hooves to make hooves suitable for survival. When they are kept in zoos, they can only walk around in a limited field, and their hooves will grow longer and longer until they are rolled back.

This requires regular zoos in the zoo.

"To hog the hoof for these wild animals, they need to be anesthetized before they can operate.

A lot of female animals were giving birth to babies before, so to ensure their health, zoo administrators did not trim their hooves for the time being.

Xining zoo staff told reporters.

"If animals can have enough venues, it will be better."

Dr. Chen Shitang, an animal disease control center in Qinghai Province, explained that "the animals that were able to run freely were trapped in iron cages, and their activities were few.

If you use an anesthetic to trim a hoof, it can also be considered as a minor operation.

The amount of anesthetic used for kittens and puppies is obviously not suitable for larger wild animals. Increasing doses, such animals are highly stressed and individual differences are great. They should be prepared for rescue at any time.

Moreover, the use of anesthetics must go to the relevant departments for examination and approval. This process will take several months. "

In order to make the venues more suitable for animal life, our province is building the Qinghai wildlife rescue center.

After the completion of the ambulance center, these animals will move to a spacious and clean new home.
