Saxony: Leipzig's first koala Oobi Ooobi died in the zoo

Leipzig (dpa / sn) - The first koala in Leipzig Zoo, Oobi Ooobi, has died. Investigations indicated acute cardiovascular failure, the zoo announced on Thursday. Animal keepers would have found the eight-year-old male sitting on the ground atypically in the morning. A vet could no longer help the koala. His death came completely unexpected. Oobi Ooobi was the first resident of the newly opened Koala House in 2016. In 2020, Oobi Ooobi became a father and gave birth to the first koala offspring in the zoo's history.
