Borås Djurpark Borås Djurpark

And he's now mixed in with the other two Elephants they have( young bull, adult cow).
 
Today the new elephant bull Yoga who arrived in October was found laying on his "wrong side" and could not stand up. The fire and rescue service were called in to help the 10000 pound giant to get up again. Yoga is a fast and dangerous bull handled with extreme pro cautions which made the rescue a hard task. From him laying down to he was up on his feet again took about 7 hours and many different ideas to solve the problem were tried. Finally a winch were taken from one of the fire vehicles, through the door, up in the ceiling, around a girder and then around his feet to lift his body to the right side.

Has there been an update on the bull elephant? was the rescue successful with out any further problems.
 
I haven´t heard of any complications after the incident, so I guess that yoga had no complications after
