At Wuppertal Zoo a man-made river that somewhat importantly acts as a barrier between hungry lions and unsuspecting humans, is having agitation provided by submersible mixers from Landia

At Wuppertal Zoo in the west of Germany, a man-made river that somewhat importantly acts as a barrier between hungry lions and unsuspecting humans, is having its current provided by submersible mixers from Landia On ground designed to recreate the grassland landscapes of the African Savannah, the encircling river is also prevented from becoming frozen over by the circulation created from the Landia mixers

Whilst the lions (and tigers) are not actually behind bars, the Landia mixers are.

In the event of any of the more curious big cats venturing into the water, each mixer propellor has been mounted with an iron mesh to protect the animals' paws.

This latest contract for Landia follows a highly successful installation at Leipzig Zoo, which is internationally renowned for its carnivores, having bred more than 2,000 lions and over 250 rare Siberian tigers.
