The most unusual zoo in the world: visitors are locked in cages and animals come to see them | the Chronicle

A lion sanctuary at South Africa created a zoo “Upside down”. What is? Keep the distance between tourists and animals. They are the ones who are locked in cages and the animals approach them.

“We’ve been offering this experience for almost two years. The safety of our guests and the big cats is top priority.”, commented the photographer and park manager, Suzanne scott.

A total of 77 cats surround the iron and plexiglass cages that they keep visitors safe as well as take impressive photos. The structure is checked periodically to ensure the safety of people and is prepared to support the weight of a lion.

The experience lasts 45 minutes and the money is used to feed the lions and to cover the costs of the conservation work carried out by the center. This new modality has aroused the curiosity of Internet users around the world and many have become fanatics of the idea, as others have been horrified.

“Perfect, we’re the dangerous ones, not the animals. I want to go!”, “Wow, come on” O “Put it in my crazy country!” “ were some of the user comments supporting the experience.

It should be noted that in Chongqing, city of China, there is also “zoo upside down”, where the tourists are locked in cages and those who come to see are the animals. It opened in 2016 and soon the tickets were sold out.

The truck carrying tourists is surrounded by chicken prey to attract animals. Although for the less risky the place also offers an armored car with resistant windows.

“We wanted to give our visitors the thrill of being harassed by felines, but without any risk.”, Held Chan liang, spokesperson for the zoo with the Oddity Central media.
