A brief respite for a smile in the shade of the corona: Just yesterday (Tuesday), the Safari Safari in Ramat Gan finished cleaning up the Asian elephant's yard - and this morning a new elephant puppy born during the night was discovered. The happy mother of the sweet little puppy is 35-year-old Le Petit, who is her third offspring.

Safari said that before the birth, the yard was cleaned a few days after her petite, "who underwent an impeccable life-mask after wandering in circus as a young woman, having difficulty coping with changes and having difficulty convincing her to enter the house at night. And over the years her condition has improved, especially after she gave birth to her eldest daughter, La Belle, 14 years ago.

At the zoo, we recently updated a new technology gate between the elephant yard and their nightclubs, which allows remote control and makes it easier for La Petite to enter the complex. With the help of the gate, La Petite began to enter easily and calmly with the other elephants in the houses, thus allowing the caretakers to complete the yard cleaning. "Yesterday, after the yard was clean and from the pool, the water was pumped and new water was pumped, seven large trucks filled with soft sea sand that elephants love particularly well were brought to the safari," he said.

Now the little elephant and puppy are staying at a separate night. "Don't move a building," they added in the safari, "and we hope that in a few days we will be able to allow them to reunite with the other elephants when everyone has gone out to the new courtyard."
