The captive breeding facility at the National Zoo in Santiago has been developing very well.\u00a0 Thankfully, no damage was done during the earthquake.\u00a0 Our hearts go out to all of those that lost property and loved ones in the terrible natural disaster.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

Las instalaciones de cr\u00eda en cautiverio del Zool\u00f3gico Nacional de Santiago se han desarrollado muy bien.\u00a0 Afortunadamente, no hubo da\u00f1os durante el terremoto.\u00a0 Nuestros corazones est\u00e1n con todos aquellos que perdieron propiedades y seres queridos en el terrible desastre natural.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are all very pleased with how the climate control worked through the heat of Santiago’s summer.\u00a0 We wanted to wait to add frogs to the facility until we were sure all environmental systems were on line and working properly.\u00a0 We also added some safety precautions just in case something interrupted power or water services.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0One of our interpretive features includes a large statue of a Darwin’s Frog.\u00a0\u00a0Our hope is that the large figure will draw in folks to the breeding center\u00a0where they can\u00a0investigate the frogs and our project.<\/p>\n

Todos estamos muy satisfechos con c\u00f3mo funcion\u00f3 el control clim\u00e1tico durante el calor del verano de Santiago.\u00a0 Quer\u00edamos esperar para agregar ranas a las instalaciones hasta que estuvi\u00e9ramos seguros de que todos los sistemas ambientales estuvieran en l\u00ednea y funcionando correctamente.\u00a0 Tambi\u00e9n agregamos algunas precauciones de seguridad en caso de que algo interrumpiera los servicios de energ\u00eda o agua.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Una de nuestras caracter\u00edsticas interpretativas incluye una gran estatua de una rana de Darwin.\u00a0\u00a0Nuestra esperanza es que la figura grande atraiga a la gente al centro de cr\u00eda donde podr\u00e1n investigar las ranas y nuestro proyecto.<\/span><\/pre>\n

To draw people to the breeding facility at the National Zoo, we had the famous Chilean artist Bernardo Oryan build a large Darwin’s Frog. The statue will be placed immediately next to the breeding facility. Para atraer gente a las instalaciones de cr\u00eda del Zool\u00f3gico Nacional, le pedimos al famoso artista chileno Bernardo Oryan que construyera una gran rana de Darwin. La estatua se colocar\u00e1 inmediatamente al lado de las instalaciones de cr\u00eda.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the safety features we decided to add to the laboratory was a self starting generator. This addition prevents the facility from overheating should the power go out on a hot Santiago afternoon. We would like to thank the Shared Earth Foundation for supporting this critically important addition to our captive breeding facility! Una de las caracter\u00edsticas de seguridad que decidimos agregar al laboratorio fue un generador de arranque autom\u00e1tico. Esta adici\u00f3n evita que las instalaciones se sobrecalienten en caso de que se corte la electricidad en una calurosa tarde de Santiago. \u00a1Nos gustar\u00eda agradecer a la Shared Earth Foundation por apoyar esta importante incorporaci\u00f3n a nuestras instalaciones de cr\u00eda en cautiverio!<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"As
As another safety precaution, we purchased a 1,500L (~395 US Gallons) water reservoir. The reservoir sits on the hill above the breeding facility so that even if water is cut off to the zoo, several days worth of water can be gravity fed to the facility and the frogs can be properly maintained through the disruption of services. Como otra precauci\u00f3n de seguridad, compramos un dep\u00f3sito de agua de 1500 litros (~395 galones estadounidenses). El dep\u00f3sito se encuentra en la colina sobre las instalaciones de cr\u00eda, de modo que incluso si se corta el agua al zool\u00f3gico, se puede alimentar por gravedad con agua para varios d\u00edas y las ranas se pueden mantener adecuadamente a trav\u00e9s de la interrupci\u00f3n de los servicios.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
