ShivamAn Endangered Species
The Prague Zoo located in Prague, the Czech Republic got established in the year 1931 with a goal to “advance the study of zoology, protect wildlife, and educate the public.” The workers of the facility which housed the endangered Indian elephants named; Shanti, Mekong, Donna, Gulab, Tamara, Tonya, Janita and her baby Max never dreamt of an incident as bad as the one that took place with Max. The situation was very ironical as the facility was specially designed to protect the Indian elephant, a species under threat of extinction. In order to achieve their objective of conserving some selected animal species, the zoo encouraged breeding programs. This was the reason which disheartened the zoo-staff all the more when it came to Max’s current condition.
