KDVR – says the Denver Zoo Park says the Nile, Mahli, and it moves to the wildlife reserve in Texas this fall.
The zoo said this step It is designed to help Mahali’s long -term welfare In addition to the zoo sustainability targets: Mahali’s home is used 21 million gallons of water every year (i.e. about 27 % of all water uses in the zoo in 2024) and is no longer suitable for it.
MAHALI is located in the old Pachyderms, a building that includes such animals, including rhinoceros and elephants, since 1959. The zoo said the building “needs maintenance and repair to stay at the level of standards set by the Zoos and Population Association, from both animal raising and guest perspective.”
“In our latest AZA inspection, the facility was marked for important updates and is no longer suitable for species,” the zoo was explained. “We realize that ancient Pachyderms will not pass in the future without great promotions.”
The zoo added that when it combines the use of water and natural gas to heat the water, the habitats of Mahali cost approximately $ 200,000 in facilities every year.
This means later in this fall, my Mahli will move to Texas and his old home will be vacant during maintenance. The zoo has also noticed that it does not include river mares in its main plan, and there are no discussions that happen about bringing in new river mares or large river mares similar to the zoo.
The zoo did not call the new Mahalali home in Texas, simply saying that it had a cooperative partnership with a wildlife reserve in Texas, which provided a time opportunity for the future of Mahly. The zoo said that it will be defined by the horse of the largest river in his new home.
The zoo’s partnership with the wildlife reserve brought modern desert sheep to the zoo, as well as the red Duker.
Mahali, 23, was born in the Denver alliance to keep a zoo in 2002 to Samantha and Bert, and is described as a “fan of admirer” for employees, volunteers and guests.
“The crowds gathered around the swimming pool in Mahali to watch him playing with his games, drinking from his fire and the sun’s bath,” the zoo said on its website. “Children and adults are both joy, similar to spraying at times, as he sprayed his tube in a regional gesture. The departure of Mahali will leave a hole in the shape of the hippo in our hearts and in our university deprivation.”
In preparation for his trip, a box will soon be placed in his courtyard to allow him to adapt and feel more comfortable during this step.
