在四川省攀枝花市的公园动物园内，一只体型圆润的金钱豹意外走红网络，因其外形酷似《疯狂动物城》中的“豹警官”而受到了众多网友的喜爱。除了这位“网红”金钱豹，园内还有几只圆滚滚的黑熊同样吸引了网友的目光。
然而，随着知名度的提高，攀枝花动物园也面临着尴尬的局面：2元的门票收入难以支撑动物园的改造升级和动物们的日常开销。动物园的工作人员表示，虽然游客量有所增加，但由于门票价格低廉，加之运营成本不断上涨，动物园的财政状况并不乐观。
为了改善动物的生活条件和提升游客的体验，动物园正在寻求社会赞助和政府资金支持，希望能够对园区进行改造升级，为动物们提供更适宜的生活环境。同时，动物园也在积极探索其他创收途径，比如增加互动体验项目和提高纪念品销售等，以缓解经济压力。
攀枝花动物园的“胖豹”走红现象，不仅展现了动物保护在公众心中的重要性，也折射出国内一些小型动物园在运营管理方面面临的挑战。如何在保持公益属性的同时，找到可持续发展的经营模式，是这些动物园亟需解决的问题。

Title: “Fat Leopard” in Panzhihua Zoo Becomes Internet Sensation, But 2 Yuan Ticket Price Struggles to Support Renovation and Upgrades
Keywords: Panzhihua Zoo, “Fat Leopard Cop”, Animal Welfare
News Content:
A chubby leopard in the Panzhihua Park Zoo in Sichuan Province has unexpectedly become an internet sensation, drawing widespread affection from netizens for its resemblance to “Fat Leopard Cop” from the movie “Zootopia.” Alongside this “celebrity” leopard, several portly black bears in the park have also caught the eye of online viewers.
However, with its increased popularity, the Panzhihua Zoo faces an awkward situation: the low ticket price of 2 yuan cannot cover the costs of upgrading and maintaining the zoo, nor the daily expenses of the animals. Despite the increase in visitor numbers, zoo staff report that due to the low ticket price and rising operational costs, the zoo’s financial situation remains challenging.
To improve the living conditions of the animals and enhance the visitor experience, the zoo is seeking sponsorship from the public and government funding, hoping to renovate the park and provide a more suitable habitat for the animals. At the same time, the zoo is exploring alternative revenue streams, such as increasing interactive experiences and boosting souvenir sales, to alleviate financial pressures.
The “Fat Leopard” phenomenon in Panzhihua Zoo not only highlights the importance of animal welfare in public consciousness but also reflects the challenges faced by some smaller zoos in China in terms of operational management. The question of how to find a sustainable business model that maintains the zoo’s charitable nature is one that urgently needs to be addressed.
