Elk Escapes Wildpark Schorfheide and Roams Brandenburg for Two Months

Despite limited sightings, experts believe the animal, named Olga, has strong survival prospects in the region's natural habitats.

Elk named Olga escaped from Wildpark Schorfheide in Brandenburg two months ago, shortly after arriving at the park.
The 200-kilogram animal has not been recaptured but was last sighted in late January, with few credible leads since.
Wildpark director Imke Heyter expressed limited hope for recapturing Olga but noted her excellent survival chances in the wild.
Brandenburg's diverse biotopes provide ample food and shelter for the elk, reducing risks compared to more urbanized areas.
Efforts to track and capture Olga continue, though her ability to remain elusive has surprised experts.
