🦆If you take a look at our ducks, you'll see they're always busy and very clean, grooming their feathers all day long. But they're not just tidying up—they're protecting themselves from getting wet.
🪶Above their tails, ducks have a special gland that produces oil. The ducks spread this oil evenly over their feathers, making them waterproof. So, water can't bother them, and they stay dry.
🪶Bird feathers are a true masterpiece of evolution, developed over tens of millions of years. All birds inherited their feathers from dinosaurs. Fossil discoveries confirm that many dinosaurs were feathered.
🪶They have excellent vision, with eyes located on the sides of their heads, giving them nearly a 340-degree field of view. Ducks can see the world in color, just like humans. Another fascinating fact is that they can see ultraviolet light.
🪶Ducks eat a variety of foods. They can eat algae, small aquatic organisms, as well as vegetables, greens, and grains. They can even catch frogs. While diving, ducks use their special receptors on the beaks to filter water and sediment, catching food. This receptors on their beaks help them perform instant chemical analysis to ensure they get the right food.
🪶Drakes are silent; only female ducks quack. Their voice helps them find a mate during the breeding season and manage their ducklings once they hatch.
🪶Ducks play an important role in the zoo's ecosystem, helping to keep the water areas clean.

These are cassowaries. Perhaps you have never seen how these giant birds wash themselves. Then we will show you... 😊 They really love water! So much!!! And they look so beautiful! Their bright blue helmet and multi-colored plumage are impressive! ❗️But be careful: these birds can be dangerous, as they have powerful legs and sharp claws that help them protect themselves from predators. Their average claw can reach 12 cm in length! Cassowaries are also famous for their fast and aggressive attacks, capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 km/h! Come see these amazing creatures at our zoo! #cassowaries #AmazingBirds #AmazingNature #zoolife #Zoo #WorldAnimals #Wildlife #cyprusnature #cyprus ##pafos #Animals #animal #welcometozoo #weekend #holidays #summer #Cyprus #pafoszoo

It turned out to be not so easy to make a video with these active, cheerful kids. Their speed is so fast! But when they sat down calmly (for a few seconds🙈), you can see their lovely fur and hairstyle that nature endowed them with.

🌟🐒 Meet the Lemurs! 🐒🌟 Our wonderful guest says, "Oh, they are so fluffy!"😄 And it's true, lemurs have very soft and pleasant fur, just like plush toys. They also love to eat delicious fresh fruits. These adorable inhabitants of Madagascar are famous for their big expressive eyes and striped tails. Lemurs are some of the oldest primates, having lived on Earth for over 60 million years! An interesting fact: lemurs have an incredibly developed sense of smell. They communicate with each other using scents, leaving marks on trees. Lemurs are also known for their love of dancing, especially when they hop on their hind legs. Come visit us to touch and feed these funny friends🐒💚 #Lemurs #Zoo #AmazingNature #Animals #Madagascar #Primates #InterestingFacts #Nature #Earth #WorldLemurs
