Commune with nature at the Shanghai Zoo

Shanghai, China’s ever changing wonder city, gives each visitor what they need, because there is something, for everyone. Be it a cultural or a feel right at home experience, or a heady blend of both, Shanghai’s got it.

For the traveller who’s keen on animals, ecological splendour, some good family enjoyment or just looking for a tourist sighting, the Shanghai Zoo is a must visit.

Set in a lush 100’000 square meter acreage of greenery, the zoo boasts of housing over 6000 animals and about 600 rare animals. These rare species include the golden haired Monkey, South China Tiger (Amoy Tiger) and the ever famous Giant Panda. Other in-house guests include twin humped Bactrian Camels, Crocodiles, Giraffes, Monkeys, Gorillas, Polar Bears, Lions and much more.

The zoo aims to create a naturalistic, ecologically friendly and comfortable surrounding for its inhabitants. The Swan Lake where Wild Geese, Pelicans, and other birds take shelter and strut around amidst trees and reeds created especially for them, is an ideal example.

If your interest is aroused, and just looking at the animals is not enough, the Shanghai Zoo offers the opportunity through technical and scientific research, to further your knowledge about the animals. This includes natural habitats, feeding methods, breeding, care, and learning how you can help.

In the children’s area, visitors are able to engage in a treat – in feeding some of the animals like the Piglets, Goats and Elephants. Pony rides and Gold fish feeding are also available.

If the thought of trudging along at the zoo puts you off, never fear, electric tour buggies are available at your disposal.

If you are looking to unwind after a tiring day at the zoo, and need accommodation that will cater to all your needs, then perhaps a stay at a Shanghai hotel like the Millennium Hongqiao Hotel Shanghai, would be a good idea, with its many facilities and scintillating restaurant food to suit every palate.

Do they kill the horses to make pony hair paint/makeup brushes?

I read an email response someone put up from MAC, who claimed that their pony and goat hair brushes were made from sheared (living) animals. This may be the case but I was wanting to know if this is true in general for all pony hair brushes? Is there any way to know what brands use sheared hair and what ones use 'dead' hair?

Thank you!
The brushes are made from horses' coat hair, not from their tails.
I'm curious to know because sadly there are a lot of horses slaughtered for meat so it's possible the hair is a by-product of that.

i would think theyd use the hair off the tails or manes so yeah all they have to do is cut it...why owuld they kill the animal? there is no logical reason plus it makes sence to let the animal keep growing hair so they can keep shearing it. dont worry they dont kill it
