The puma called “Pele”, which was freed from a wooden box about two months ago, will move from Munich to the East Styrian animal world of Herberstein in Styria in the coming days. His trip is already being prepared in Germany. If all goes well, the arrival should be on Friday.
Police officers discovered and freed the emaciated, sick and distraught Puma in a wooden box in a car in the Upper Palatinate in Germany in mid-March. In the exotic house of the reptile sanctuary in Munich, the animal was nursed back to health and baptized with the name “Pele”. He has recovered well since then and is almost cuddly with people he knows, the station reported. Now he is ready for transport to Austria. “We very much hope that the close-to-nature attitude in the Herberstein Zoo in combination with highly motivated animal keepers and a conspecific for “Pele” means complete recovery and a long, happy life,” said the Munich reptile sanctuary on Wednesday. Transport shouldn’t be a problem Veterinarian Markus Baur expects few problems with the move planned for Thursday and Friday. “Pele” is trained. In addition, there has been a transport box in his enclosure for a few days, which he already uses to sleep. “I think he’ll go in there all by himself.” “Pele” will first explore his new kingdom in an area separated from puma females “Missoula”. Only when the two have gotten used to each other will the separating fence be dismantled. The Puma enclosure has already been adapted and is around 3500 square meters in size, natural, has trees, viewing platforms and a jumping area. “Missoula’s” previous partner “Seal” had died last year, and now the nine-year-old lady will have a new one at her side.
