Great news for Parco Zoo Falconara:
2 okapis will come in the next months for the 50th anniversary of the zoo. First time for an italian zoo (except one male in Rome decades ago).
What a painful and deplorable loss.Elani, the reproductive female that gave birth to Italo, Italy's firts born okapi, has passed away.
Parco Zoo Falconara on Instagram: "Ci sono notizie che non vorremmo mai dare, ma la vita è fatta anche di questo. Una parte importante della nostra grande famiglia ci ha lasciato pochi giorni fa: Elani, la nostra femmina di okapi. È stata una presenza speciale, che ha segnato non solo la storia del parco, ma anche le vite di tutti coloro che, giorno dopo giorno, se ne sono presi cura. Arrivata da cucciola, è cresciuta insieme a noi, dando alla luce negli anni due okapi, che potranno contribuire alla conservazione di questa affascinante specie. Siamo certi che, come a noi, anche a voi la meravigliosa Elani ha saputo regalare emozioni profonde. E se i più piccoli vorranno farle un omaggio, accoglieremo con affetto i loro disegni."
Deplorable as in...?What a painful and deplorable loss.
Relax, relax, friend. I meant it is a huge loss ... as she was still fairly young. There is also not a great supply of female okapi and - fingers crossed - hope that before long a new companion and compatible female will be found to continue the breeding line at Parco Zoo di Falconara.Deplorable as in...?
On their website they explain it was due to a fecalith that started a gastrointestinal colic.
