    Elephant cow THURA is dead ... I'm crushed.:( She was 45 years old and had a total of 6 calves, of which 3 is alive. In the spring, thanks to the youngest Rani will to become a grandmother again. She died of abortion problems. The first in 2014, the second in 2018. Pregnancy in 2018 was terminated because it was at great risk, her previous calf was in her uterus. She probably died of blood poisoning because of a calf in her uterus.

    THURA had dead twins in her uterus from 2014, the pregnancy from 2018 was aborted "successfully".

    A female 18 years old okapi IBINA arrived from Stuttgart to breed and retire here.

    Saida from Leipzig moves elsewhere, somewhere to older cows. This was announced by Leipzig Zoo. I guess it will probably Karlsruhe.
