Following the lifting of Wuhan's 76-day lockdown on April 8, the Wuhan zoo reopened to the public on Wednesday, with the number of visitors limited within 15,000 per day. 　

The zoo closed down on Jan. 22, one day before authorities announced a citywide lockdown. During their three-month separation from the public, the animals seem to have been busy procreating.

Two babies of milu deer, also known as a Chinese elk or the Pere David's deer, and one pony have come into the world at the zoo. One baby milu deer born on April 2 is named Kangyi, which is equivalent to "anti-epidemic."

The pony, named Jiefeng, which meas "lifting," was born on the morning of April 8. The other milu deer born at afternoon on the same day is called Chongqi, which means "reopen" in English.

The staff said that all animals are in good physical conditions. During the closure of the zoo, the staff had to overcome the impact of poor transportation, which made their workloads increase exponentially. They disinfect the zoo and cages every day, and strengthen animal observation and epidemic monitoring.

"The operating room and rest room must be disinfected every day. A total of 15 or 20 kilograms of bamboo has to be moved in or out," said a staff member in the zoo.

The zoo has also set a limit of 15,000 visitors during peak visiting hours during the day, and adopted contactless ticketing. The outdoor venues are normally open in the zoo. Four indoor venues, such as where panda, hippo, rhinoceros and baboon live, will remain closed.

"Everyone is welcome to Wuhan zoo. Meanwhile, we hope that everyone can cooperate with our work, such as wearing masks and taking temperature when entering the zoo as well as keeping a distance of 1.5 meters when visiting. We wish all our visitors health," said Chen Liyun, a staff member of the zoo.
