Christmas in Bitterwasser – at 33°C and glorious sunshine
In Europe Christmas is usually associated with cold temperatures, early sunsets and, in the best case scenario, snow. In Bitterwasser, the world looks very different.
We visited Eckhart and found them both in great shape.
On the left is Katharina and on the right Paul.
Baki, the young springbok and the four ostriches have been released in the meantime. Since all of them are very territorial, they can often be seen at the waterhole. But they have become much more shy. Baki only allows us to get within 2 meters of him and the ostriches now keep a distance of about 20 meters.
In the background you can see the ostriches.
