Zoo Granby - Sound Effects
Zoo Granby started with a Well in their tiger exhibit and sent us the following testimony after their first year of operation:
"Our Well raises money to save the Amur tiger. The sign is written in French, English and Russian. We have added a feature so that when the coins get to the base, a tiger sound emerges. WOW! It is working very well. We are open each summer for about 100 days, and bring in more than $2,000 per summer with our Three-Footer!”
Patrick Paré, M.Sc., Biologiste Directeur, éducation-animation, Conservateur adjoint, Zoo de Granby
They then purchased a second Well for their frog exhibit, and now receive more than $5,000 from both Wells...in just 100 days. They are only open in the summer.
They have sent us a video clip that plays the sound in their Frog Exhibit when the coins go through the hole in the funnel. It is 5MB (very large file) and plays on a Windows Player. Click here to watch that Well in action and to hear the frogs when the coins trigger the sound.
