Fire
A technical fault could have caused a fire at the zoo on the night of 13 November 2010 killing 26 animals. But they were set out to investigate what caused it, the police suspected arson. The fire destroyed the petting zoo and killed all the animals contained therein, and then the fire spread to the elephant house and several animals there suffered severe burns.
