Educational animation

By observing images and living beings, the child compares different species in the relationships they have with their offspring both in the birth process and in the care given to the young.

The child identifies the panda’s living environment in a natural environment. He himself established a first simplified classification of carnivorous mammals. It makes the panda’s diet appear to be an exception.

The child understands that beyond any fears or popular beliefs, each predatory species hunts out of necessity. Older children discover sometimes surprising information about these animals and the role they play in an ecosystem.

Children and adolescents discover that animals do not all have exactly the same senses as humans, that the acuity of the senses varies from one species to another and that they allow each animal to perceive the world around them according to their needs.

Children and adolescents discover how these animals protect themselves against the climate of these regions. They become aware of the interactions between these different animals. They also look at the role of some of these animals in folklore and legends.

The child and the adolescent discover Pairi Daiza from a new angle. They discover the general structure of an animal park, some of the main animals that can be seen there and what to take into account when caring for them. They address notions of animal behaviour, needs, environmental enrichment, etc.

Children and adolescents point out several human actions that threaten the survival of different species in their natural environment. They approach the role of an animal garden and the relationship that unites modern zoos with other stakeholders in nature preservation. They discover the role of the “Pairi Daiza Foundation”.

Children and adolescents learn to compare different species of primates in particular to highlight physical characteristics. Then they discover how to classify these animals according to their degree of evolution.

Children and adolescents learn to manipulate different criteria in order to establish connections or, on the contrary, distances between several groups of living beings. The older students address the fact that this classification is supported by genetic studies. (Attention: there will be no details on the genetics of the animals during the animation, everything will be based on “macro-observation”).
