The park's major source of energy is solar energy. The park is located on Al Warqa 5 on the Hatta Road. The park has around 3000 animals from 78 species of mammals – including 10 different carnivores and 17 primates, 50 types of reptiles, 111 kinds of birds, and amphibians and invertebrates. The park replaced the Dubai Zoo on its 50th anniversary. On May 15, 2018, the park closed for renovations and improvements until being reopened in October 2020. Dubai Safari Park has five key areas: African Village, Explorer village, Asian Village, Arabian Desert Safari, and Al Wadi. Visitors can also explore the free-roaming areas, such as the Safari Journey and Kids Farm. The park also has two themed souvenir shops Zwadi and Soko, which are located in African Village and the main building respectively. Each shop has a range of items, such as toys, plush animals, apparel, gifts and souvenirs to commemorate the visit to the park. AFRICAN VILLAGE: Home to a range of animal species from the continent of Africa, housing some of the world’s largest and smallest land mammals, from the African elephant to the Meerkat. EXPLORER VILLAGE: An open area where visitors can go by bus and have an amazing close encounter with animals from Africa and Asia, including giraffes, lions and tigers. SAFARI JOURNEY: A unique 45-minute experience where you will embark on a drive-through adventure and have the opportunity to spot animals from Africa and Asia from a close range inside one of our Safari Buses. You will be accompanied by our knowledgeable guides, who will talk about the animals, answer your questions and feed your curiosity with interesting stories and fun facts. ASIAN VILLAGE: The village is influenced by the ornate architecture of Asia and is home to animals from Asia, including the Komodo dragon and Indian elephant. ARABIAN DESERT SAFARI: Arabian Desert Safari is a drive-through attraction spanning over 60,000m2 and is inspired by the vast deserts of Western Asia, including its mountains, flowers and plants. It has animal species from the Arabian Peninsula, like the Arabian oryx and Arabian wolf. AL WADI: Al Wadi "The Valley" area is created for relaxation after the long safari visit. The ground is lush green with ponds of fishes where you can watch fishes and waterfalls. KIDS FARM: The Kids Farm is a newly created section, which has some of the park's friendliest animals, including sheep, donkeys, ponies, goats, ducks, birds, amongst others. The area is designed with a view kept in mind of learning for children. ■ ELEPHANTS: Elephants are the largest living terrestrial animals. African bush elephants are the largest species, with males being 10-11ft tall. Elephant ears have thick bases with thin tips. The ear flaps contain numerous blood vessels called capillaries. Elephant trunks have multiple functions, including breathing, olfaction, touching, grasping, and sound production. The animal's sense of smell may be 4x as sensitive as that of a bloodhound. The trunk's ability to make powerful twisting and coiling movements allows it to collect food, wrestle with other elephants, and lift up to 350kg. It can be used for delicate tasks, such as wiping an eye and checking an orifice. With its trunk, it can reach items at heights of up to 7m and dig for water under mud or sand. Elephants usually have 26 teeth: the incisors, known as the tusks, 12 deciduous premolars, and 12 molars. Unlike most mammals, which grow baby teeth and then replace them with a single permanent set of adult teeth, elephants are polyphyodonts that have cycles of tooth rotation throughout their lives. The chewing teeth are replaced 6x in a typical elephant's lifetime. The tusks of an elephant are modified second incisors in the upper jaw. They replace deciduous milk teeth at 6-12months of age and grow continuously at about 17cm a year. A newly developed tusk has a smooth enamel cap that eventually wears off. The dentine is known as ivory and its cross-section consists of crisscrossing line patterns, known as "engine turning", which create diamond-shaped areas. An elephant's skin is generally very tough, at 2.5cm thick on the back and parts of the head. The skin around the mouth, anus, and inside of the ear is considerably thinner. An elephant uses mud as a sunscreen, protecting its skin from ultraviolet light. Elephants can move both forwards and backwards, but cannot trot, jump, or gallop. ■ REFERENCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai_S... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dub... ■ REMARKS: Please don't forget to like, share, subscribe and leave a comment to my channel and click "ON" the notification bell for the latest video updates.
