"The online sessions introduce more animal-related knowledge to people and enhance their awareness of wildlife protection while helping them kill time during the lockdown," Yu says.

According to the park, more than 10 million people viewed its panda livestream in the past 30 days and its Douyin account had more than 2.84 million followers, as of May 13.

Similar efforts to care for the animals have been taken at Shanghai Zoo in the city's Changning district, where more than 5,000 animals, including birds, live.

According to The Bund, a Shanghai-based news portal, the zookeepers have taken special measures, such as creating nesting trunks and adding nutrients to daily meals, to help their birds breed as normally as possible during the ongoing breeding season.

Employees at the city's Haichang Ocean Park also celebrated World Penguin Day on April 25 even though it was shut.

It has sent toys and books related to marine animals to young COVID-19 patients in makeshift hospitals.
