On September 16, the 15-year-old female moose at Langenberg Wildlife Park was euthanized. Her health had been steadily declining in recent years. After careful consideration, the wildlife park therefore decided to euthanize the animal. The female moose was subsequently fed to the park’s predators.

The red deer went extinct in Switzerland 175 years ago. But the “king of the forests” has returned and is now slowly reclaiming the Swiss Plateau. The Sihlwald provides an important refuge for these animals.
