Chessington bans animal prints from fear of confusing animals
Chessington World of Adventures Resort has banned animal print clothing because it is confusing the animals in its wildlife park.
A Chessington representative said that many of the park’s animals were “becoming baffled” by what seemed to be zebras and giraffes on their territory.
Keepers said that animal prints could cause the animals to try and communicate with those wearing them, or to run away in fear.
The decision follows the launch of the park’s Zufari African experience, which allows guests to go on an off-road ‘safari’.
The park has hired bouncers to enforce the new rule, who will supply offenders with grey boiler suits to wear as an alternative.
Animal print clothing has also been banned in all areas of the park.
Banned prints include zebra, giraffe, leopard, cheetah, tiger, hyena and african wild dog.
