JAKARTA - The number of animals in the Ragunan Wildlife Park has increased by two this year. Thus, the collection of animals at the South Jakarta zoo became 2,269 individuals.

"In 2022, two animals were born, namely a giraffe and one elephant which is a favorite animal for visitors," said Ragunan Wildlife Park Service and Public Relations Staff (Humas) Wahyudi Bambang in Jakarta, Monday, December 26.

Bambang said that the two baby animals had not been able to meet many visitors because they were still being quarantined.

He said these baby animals were under the supervision of officers and were still adjusting the situation until the right time to be published to the public.

If these two animals are at sufficient age, later they will be trained to be able to appear in public so they are not surprised when they meet many people.

He added that his party is trying to maintain care such as places to the diet of these baby animals so that they can grow well.

In addition, his party also has doctors for each type of animal collected so that the health of the animals is guaranteed when in an open space and meets many people.

"The two animals increased the number of our animal collections to 2,269," he said, quoted by Antara.

However, Bambang did not specify when the two new animals were born.

Ragunan Wildlife Park has a Animal Care or Nursery located in the Schmutzer Primata Center, opposite the Ragunan Wildlife Park.

This baby animal care is equipped with lights to cages to care for animals that are starting to grow big.

Ragunan Wildlife Park has an area of 147 hectares. The zoo is inhabited by more than 2,009 animals and is over 20,000 trees overgrown.

The land is arranged and built and some are still being developed towards a modern zoo as an identity for the City of Jakarta.
