A male African elephant named Jack attacked a 29-year-old female elephant named Ulu at the Zlín Zoo on Friday, who later died. The zoo said the attack was unexpected and that the male had not shown any signs of conflictive behavior toward females in the previous days. The zoo temporarily closed the Karibuni area due to the incident, but reopened it to the public on Monday.
According to available information, the death of Ulu the female elephant in the Zlín Zoo after being attacked by the male Jack was not the first similar incident involving this animal.

The Zlín Zoo is recovering from the tragic attack on Ulu by a male elephant, Jack, on Friday. The 30-year-old female elephant died immediately after the incident. The male remains separated from the herd, but the zoo has reopened the Karibuni area to visitors.
The staff at the Zlín Zoo in the Czech Republic had never encountered such a distressing situation. Jack, a male African elephant, attacked Ulu, the youngest female elephant in the herd, in her enclosure. The elephant did not survive the attack. The tragedy occurred during the zoo's opening hours.
