Mixing with the big cats
A man-made river that acts as a barrier between hungry lions and unsuspecting humans has its current provided by submersible mixers from Landia.
At Wuppertal Zoo in the west of Germany, a man-made river that somewhat importantly acts as a barrier between hungry lions and unsuspecting humans, is having its current provided by submersible mixers from Landia On ground designed to recreate the grassland landscapes of the African Savannah, the encircling river is also prevented from becoming frozen over by the circulation created from the Landia mixers
Although the lions (and tigers) are not actually behind bars, Landia's mixers are.
In the event of any of the more curious big cats venturing into the water, each mixer propeller has been mounted with an iron mesh to protect the animals' paws.
This latest contract for Landia follows a highly successful installation at Leipzig Zoo, which is internationally renowned for its carnivores, having bred more than 2000 lions and over 250 rare Siberian tigers.
