The Deer Team, assisted by the Zoo maintenance staff and employees of the Nature and Parks Authority have recently finished the rehabilitation of the acclimatization facility in Nahal Soreq. The facility was partially destroyed by floods last year.
Unfortunately, the bodies of two female deer in the Jerusalem Hills have been discovered over the past weeks, in separate incidents. This was sad news for the team and the project. Their corpses will be transferred to the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Beit Dagan, Israel's only veterinary hospital to undergo autopsies to discover the cause of death.
The corpses were found whole, meaning that traffic accidents or animal attack can be ruled out. Options to be explored will be disease or poisoning. We will update you in our next report, when we have more details.
Wishing you a healthy winter,
Rachael and the Deer Team
