MELAKA: A tranquil atmosphere prevails at the Melaka Zoo due to the movement control order.
Without the daily intrusion of visitors, there is much-needed space for zoo animals to express their natural behaviour and interact freely with their kind.
Its zoology unit head Azman Ghazali said when visitors were allowed in, the animals were often seen to be passive and would even shy away.
Changes in the behaviour of the animals are evident now even in the mating behaviour of a group of six black panthers.
“There are six panthers at the Melaka Zoo and we have observed the mating pattern of four of them recently, ” he said.
