Ramat Gan safari animals seek shelter from storm

The Ramat Gan safari closed to the public with the start of the heavy rains this morning. Workers moved the hay intended to feed the safari’s large herbivores under awnings so the animals may feed out of the rain.

“The hay is more than food, it also helps the animals stay warm,” the safari said in a statement.

Many animals took advantage of the awnings to escape the storm.

“Even many of the hippopotamuses left the lake in order to hide under the awnings,” the statement explains.
