Lotus was born June 4th 1995 at Kolmården Zoo. He was
Lotty’s first calf and Lotty didn’t know what to do. Therefore Lotus didn’t got
milk from his mother, but Vicky took care of him and gave him milk. Vicky knew
what to do with calves but she couldn’t give him the extra fat milk that
newborn calves need and Lotus became sick. Lotus got treated and survived. When
he got healthy he got milk from both his mother Lotty and from Vicky. When
Lotus was 4 years old Lotty gave birth to another calf, Lyra who still lives at
Kolmården. Two years later Lotty gave birth to her third calf, Fenix. Lotus was
moved to Zoomarine in 2003 together with his halfbrother Dino. Lotty and Fenix
were moved to Marineland Anitbes in 2005 together with Sharky.
