Male elephant Limbo has died

Triste nouvelle | Actualité | ZooParc de Beauval


It is with great sorrow that we tell you of the death of Limbo, our great male elephant, this morning (April 8th) in Beauval. Upon their arrival, the elephant sector healers discovered Limbo lying down. Despite all the efforts of the team and the attentive care of the veterinarians, Limbo died late in the morning, to our great sadness. Reviews are underway to determine the cause. A death so sudden increases the punishment of our teams, which each day joins the animals and ties them up. Their privileged relationship makes the separation painful. It was 14 years since Limbo was in Beauval, arrived with the females of the group in 2003. The healers and the veterinarians did all that was in their power but their punishment is great. All Beauval teams are associated with this immense sorrow. Thank you all for your support in this very difficult time for us. The Beauval ZooParc team
