Artis‘ new elephant enclosure has opened and features 15 so-called ’behavior-enhancing objects. One of these is a whirlpool in which the elephants like to play. Since they not only play in the water, but also shower in it and drain their feces and urine, a water filtration system is necessary. The new water treatment system is operated with the information and control system C.A.R.S from YP Your Partner. To ensure clean and safe water, the zoo monitors, manages and operates the water treatment plant with the smart software C.A.R.S. software. This gives the keepers 24-hour visibility into water quality.
Elephants like to seek out the water, especially when it is warm. That's why . has Artis in the new country house placed a large pond. In the water, unexpected bubbles rise to the surface, causing the water to move and challenging the elephants to play. Thus, the elephants receive incentives to stimulate their natural behavior.
