Do you see the blue-yellow flag? It is in height about 10 metres. It is a point of how big was flood in 2002. Whole bottom part of ZOO was under water.
Caregivers had to relocate more than 1000 animals in a few hours. Not only small animals, but also large, such as gorillas, hippos, rhinos ...
Prediction was twenty-year flood, but it turned into more than five hundred-year flood.
The flood in 2002 affected most of parts of Bohemia.

That was a lot of water! No doubt the animals were frightened.
ReplyDeleteHow awful! Let's hope it doesn't happen for another 500 years!
ReplyDeleteWow, can you imagine moving all those animals?! That's a job! Pretty spot.
