Amidst Israel's "Operation Roaring Lion," 4 Lions Arrive at Haifa Zoo
(Times of Israel) Diana Bletter - A lion and three lionesses arrived at the Haifa Zoo on Thursday as part of efforts to conserve the endangered species. The lions, all about a year and a half old, had been housed in zoos in the Czech Republic. El Al captain Roy Efodi said, "We were required to ensure precise conditions in the cargo compartment, including with an adjusted temperature, and to plan a flight path that would minimize air pockets and turbulence as much as possible." Whenever there are sirens warning of Iranian or Hizbullah missiles, zoo staff members herd the lions, along with other animals, into indoor chambers or rooms made of solid concrete to take shelter.
