Cuddle‑Power: Old Fire Hoses Become Jungle’s New Playthings
It turns out the Singapore Zoo’s old firefighting gear has a surprise second life. Instead of hanging around in storage, those once‑heroic hoses are now the hottest toys for the zoo’s feathered and furry friends. Think of hawks swooping through a rattle‑ready pipe, hyenas snoring while munching from a dispenser, and monkeys swinging from a hose‑rope. The idea? Keep the animals active, engaged, and mentally sharp without breaking the bank or the water supply.
- Hawk play sessions use a hose stretched out like a long, slippery runway.
- Hyena feeders double as both a peanut dispenser and a chew‑toy.
- Monkey enthusiasts love the maze‑like props fashioned from the same plastic.
Short story: The zoo’s creative crew jammed up a civil‑engineering marvel and turned it into a playground, proving that sometimes the best toys are the ones that once saved a life.
