Elephants in winter are normal for Siberia, as it turned out. There was an incident in December. The poor elephants must have been shocked by the -37 degrees.
On December 13, several situations occurred on the highways of the Novosibirsk region that threatened the lives and health of people, including foreign preachers, as well as two elephants. A wooden van carrying the animals from the Kemerovo region to Omsk caught fire at kilometer 1009 of the federal highway M51 "Baikal" - presumably from a heating gasoline generator, the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Novosibirsk Region reported.
The animals spent an hour in the cold, but they warmed up with vodka. 20 bottles were mixed with warm water. After drinking it, the elephants fell asleep in the garages of a vocational school in the city of Tatarsk. The next day, they were taken to the Omsk circus.
