Unfortunately the Zoo has been closed to visitors during the three lockdowns in Israel in March-May and September-October 2020 and again at the end of 2020 with a third lockdown that started on December 28, 2020.
Overall, there were a total of 119 days of complete closure in the 2020 calendar year.
Happily, the Zoo re-opened on February 21, 2021 with limited entries.
While there is no news of new baby otters born during the lockdown, we can report that they have been very active in the cold and rainy weather, making mud slides and frolicking in their pool.
It is their favourite time of year and now we are open, visitors to the Zoo will be able to see them again!
I am sharing some cool pictures of their antics taken by Shai Ben Ami.
Take care,
Rachael and the Otter Team
