FUR COATS AND PORRIDGE FEASTS

As the sudden Siberian cold snap swept across the Mediterranean corridor this week, snow covered higher grounds and we all wrapped up warm in our homes, we might have forgot that there are residents on our shores who are actually used to warmer climates tan us.

As town halls started their winter action campaigns to prevent road closures and accidents, zoo keepers and scientists in a number of animal parks across Spain prepared themselves by also putting their own plans in action to protect animals who may have come from climates which never see snow or frost.

Terra Natura Animal Park in Benidorm was one such place; where the central heating was turned on to maintain the temperatures across the entire park. Not only that, special considerations were given to diet, just as it would to humankind, as many of the animals were fed hot porridge to give them a healthy glow as the winter wind blew through their woolly, furry coats.

Not only that, they have also been given vitamin C supplements, which we could all do with considering for our own well being. In fact, we might also consider taking the same action as the animals, wrapping up warm, having hot porridge and staying snuggled in doors as we wait for the warmth of spring.
