Women’s Day Weekend at the Zoo
This year, on Women’s Day, we are welcoming you on March 7 and 8 with a special themed weekend. Through exciting programs, spectacular feedings, and interactive presentations, we will celebrate female strength, care, perseverance, and solidarity – all inspired by remarkable examples from the animal kingdom.
During the day, our expert keepers will present special animal presentations highlighting the “ladies” of the animal world. Visitors will learn about the unique roles females play in leading groups, raising offspring, and maintaining the unity of their communities.
Meerkats – Masters of Unity
In a meerkat group, the female is the true leader. The dominant female directs the colony, makes the key decisions, and is often the first to warn others in case of danger. Meerkats perfectly illustrate female leadership, responsibility, and the sacrifices made for the good of the community.
Tigers – Symbols of Strength and Independence
Female tigers are solitary yet exceptionally devoted mothers. They raise their cubs on their own, teaching them how to hunt and survive in the wild. The female tiger represents perseverance, courage, and independence.
