New moose cow in the Schorfheide wildlife park: Drama about Olga continues!

There is a breath of fresh air in the animal world in the Schorfheide wildlife park: a new cow moose has found her home in Brandenburg. The one-and-a-half-year-old moose comes from the Lohberg Wildlife Park in Bavaria and is initially being housed in a separate enclosure so that it can settle in in peace. Her arrival is particularly important as she will provide company to the bull moose, who has previously lived alone. After his former partner, Olga, escaped in December 2022, the bull was on his own and, after a long wait, was now able to find a mate again. [rbb24] reports that the new moose doesn't have a name yet and it will be seen in the coming days whether the two moose get along.

Olga, the bull moose's former partner, has been causing a stir since her escape. She has been living freely in Schorfheide for over two years and was last seen at the beginning of June 2023, about four kilometers from the wildlife park. [Spiegel] shares that her sense of adventure and informality inspires those around her. While she continues to be spotted in Brandenburg, the question remains whether she misses her old home or prefers life in freedom.

A look back at Olga's adventures

Olga's story is fascinating. She was once a fixture in the wildlife park, but her longing for freedom led to her escape. The decision to jump over the 2.30 meter high fence was courageous and took them into the vast forests of Schorfheide. A real adventure for the animal, but at the same time a big challenge for the park operators, who always have to pay attention to their safety.

Those in charge of the wildlife park now hope that the new cow moose will not follow Olga's steps. A smooth introduction into the animal community would be desirable and could have a positive impact on the bull moose, which has needed entertainment and companionship since Olga's escape.

What awaits us now?

So things remain exciting in the Schorfheide! The new developments surrounding moose show once again how important interactions and the well-being of the animals are. The experts will closely monitor how the new cow integrates into her new home. We'll be curious to see whether the two moose will soon understand each other better or whether they will turn out to be incompatible.

One thing is certain: the adventures in Schorfheide are far from over! It remains to be seen how Olga will continue to do and whether she will return to the wildlife park one day.
