VENTILATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

• Ventilation arrangements have to be made as fool-proof ones and this helps to avoid the occurrence of respiratory infections like pneumonia to the new born wild animal species as in case with bear cubs etc.
• Arrangements have to be made for the provision of rooms or places, so that the concerned wild animal species that is kept in confined status may get opportunity to escape from the extremes of climate etc. This is one of the important feature especially for the new born wild animals or young ones or sick animals.
• Arrangements for heating or cooling in the indoor enclosure may be made to avoid the problems in health of the wild animal species due to the extreme environmental temperature-variations.
