千葉市動物公園－Chiba Zoological Park(October 31, 2020-No.33）
Chiba Zoological Park is an animal park located at 280 Minamotocho, Wakaba-ku, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture. To get there, take the Chiba Urban Monorail from JR Chiba Station and get off at Dobutsukoen Station.
The weather was fine on this day, and a relatively large number of people came, mainly families with children. Especially the restaurant at the zoo at noon was crowded. Of course, measures were taken against the epidemic of the new coronavirus by the zoo.
It is known for breeding the red panda "Futa"（レッサーパンダの風太）, which is famous for its standing appearance. From the beginning of the park, it is said that it has been focusing on breeding primates around the world, especially the breeding of endangered rare species, and also tends to breed small animals, herbivorous animals, birds and other animals. However, from the end of April 2016, lions were newly bred, and on July 21, 2020, the fastest animal on the ground "Cheetah（チーター)" and the highly social "Spotted Hyena（ブチハイエナ）" will be exhibited at Chiba Zoological Park. The place has opened.
The two cheetahs were very active, sometimes flirting with each other and sprinting at full speed, which was very cool and never bored.
Ueno Zoo in Tokyo is very attractive because many animals such as giant pandas are bred and exhibited, but I think that this Chiba Zoo is also an attractive zoo with a distinctive exhibition and breeding method.
I don't know if the animals kept in the zoo are happy, but at least it's an important place that gives us the opportunity to think about species diversity, the importance of life and coexistence. We have few opportunities to see wild animals directly in Africa and elsewhere.
