Refugee Otter from Fukushima
There's someone who sheltered in Ueno Zoo from the aquarium in the disaster stricken area.
That is two Eurasia Otters.
Because the electricity and water supply has failed since the earthquake,
it became a difficult situation to keep them.
Therefore,
Ueno Zoo accepted those refugee otters.
One is " Donau " (male), who was born in Germany.
The other is " Tyrol " (female), who was born in Austria.
At first, they had been moving around or shrinking with mental strain.
But now, they seem to get acclimatized to the new environment.
They are getting to eat food a lot.
The number of Eurasia Otter decreases worldwide,
and it's specified as "Semi-Vulnerable Species.
It means, it faces extinction.
Those two otters crossed over the sea, and came to Japan.
And now, they have overcome the difficulty.
How about going to see those lovely otters in Ueno Zoo ?
