In December, there are many days when the lowest temperature is below freezing.

Tategamori Ark Ranch has also entered the winter admission free period.

Animals are getting ready for the winter.

The rabbits in the Welcome Entrance Fureai Square also moved to a warm hut.

The animal house next to the deer ranch is open from 11:00 to 15:00 even in winter.
You can interact with (feed) rabbits and guinea pigs.

*There are days when the zoo is not open due to regular holidays or due to the animal's health condition or work.

Yuki the pony is old and has hurt her leg joints due to the cold.
We are warmed up wearing horse clothes (clothes for horses) handmade by our staff.

I made it with a sleeping bag so it should be warm!

In addition, cold protection vinyl is pasted on the stables to prevent the cold.

As soon as the hut is ready, the sheep will be housed one by one, and the mother sheep will prepare for delivery.
It seems that the cold is still fine because it is wearing fur like a fluffy sweater.

I'm waiting for food. The pressure is amazing...(-_-;)

From now on, animals will gradually be moved and animal enclosures will be protected from the cold, so there will be places where it will be difficult to see, but the deer, ponies, and sheep are running around energetically despite the cold. You can see , so please stop by while shopping or eating.
