Two new kangaroos arrive at Solinger Zoo following a series of tragic fatalities

In a bid to bring some joy back to Fauna Park Solingen, two new female kangaroos have recently joined the park's family. The arrival of these new additions, announced on 01:32, will be available for visitors until 17.07.2027.

However, the park's director, Linda Butzenthal, still expresses some unease following a series of unfortunate events that occurred around Easter. Two kangaroos met a tragic end, an incident that left a profound shock on the park team and has prompted increased security measures.

Since the unfortunate incident, the animals at the park now sleep in lockable stalls at night for their safety. Additional security measures include the installation of extra cameras, which are now operational at night, and the enhanced presence of park staff.

Despite these measures, Ms. Butzenthal remains apprehensive. Veterinary experts have confirmed the presence of foxes within the park, and footage from surveillance cameras has captured foxes roaming the premises at night. The person responsible for the deaths of the previous kangaroos is still at large, having managed to escape before the police arrived.

Alarmingly, there are reports of a person walking through the park and approaching the kangaroo enclosure. This individual was seen peering into the box, but no further details about their identity or intentions have been disclosed.

The investigation into the deaths of the previous kangaroos is still ongoing, with both the police and veterinary experts working diligently to uncover the cause of the tragedy. As of now, the specific details regarding the cause of the deaths remain unclear.

The new kangaroos, favourites among park visitors, are a welcome addition to the park, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the sombre atmosphere. The park team hopes that these new arrivals will help in the healing process and bring a sense of normalcy back to the park.
