Auch Jens hat den Zoo Karlsruhe nach dem Brand besucht. Vitus geht es gut. Das Eisbärgehege liegt auf der anderen Seite des Geländes, man kann nur hoffen, dass die beiden Eisbärinnen, die sich im Rückzugsbereich befinden, nicht zu viel von den Ereignissen mitbekommen haben.-

Jens too has visited the zoo after the fire, Vitus is fine, the polar bears are living on the other side of the area where the fire broke out.It is hoped that the ladies have not had too much disturbance.

Wie es den Elefanten nach dem Brand geht, dazu gibt es einen Bericht vom Zoo.

Three of the 4 elephants, Ilona, Rani and Jenny, the 3 females, are still suffering from their burns and need constant monitoring. During the rescue operation they had been very calm, as two of them had a circus past, they were used to fire which might have helped them not to panic.

As the elephant house has to stay closed for the time being, the elephants are kept, due to weather and health condition, in the outer enclosure."Why?"/Photo: Gabriele Benzler
