In the Berlin Zoo, sad news has shaken the visitors and employees: Flower horse lady Nicole died on Wednesday, December 18. The Berlin Zoo announced on Instagram with a heavy heart: "Today we had to say goodbye to our hippo lady Nicole with a heavy heart." The 24-year-old suffered from an incurable tumor who severely restricted her movement ability and dramatically reduced her quality of life. Out of love, the zoo decided to redeem it from her suffering, such as berlin-live.de reported.

Nicole was not just a hippo, she was a real Berlin original, born and grew up in the zoo. Her great -grandfather was the legendary hippos Knautschke, who, as one of the 91 animals, survived the horrors of the Second World War. Her death leaves a gap in the "Hippo Bay", the home of many hippos and a popular attraction for zoo visitors, which are primarily attracted to Nicole's daughter Nala, who continues to live there. There is hope that Nala might soon become a mother herself, according to the zoo in a sensitive farewell message. Many mourners have already expressed their condolences on social media, while Nicole will have a special place in the hearts of zoo visitors forever, reported Bild.de .
