The Kyiv Zoo staff and their families are bunkering at the zoo as they care for the animals housed there amid the war in Ukraine.
“Some of them have been moved to indoor enclosures and underground galleries,” Trantin said, noting that about 50 people are caring for the zoo animals around the clock. “Veterinarians monitor their emotional state and, if necessary, provide a sedative.”“Zoo life is a daily work process: feed, polish, clean, repair, load, wash and much more,” the Kyiv Zoo wrote. “And we are where we need to be right now — near our hoofy and feathery, scallops and predatory suspects.
"All day we are working with animals, and at night we are hiding at shelters because there are attacks," Trantin said, adding that the stress is causing some birds to hit themselves on the cage barriers. On March 4, the zoo posted that it had the essentials needed to care for the animals, noting it was not soliciting help from Ukrainian citizens.
“They had to turn back many times, because all the roads were blown up, full of holes, impossible to pass with such cargo, which is why it took so long,” Poznan Zoo’s Malgorzata Chodyla told the Independent. “But here they are, and we just can’t believe it.” CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
