The Changsha Ecological Zoo in Changsha has taken various measures to keep animals warm as the temperatures are dropping in the city. Zoo keepers prepared wooden houses, heat lamps, air conditioners, floor heating, and artificial nests for animals according to their natural habitats and the temperature changes, to ensure their safety in winter.
