Visitors
to the Karlsruhe Zoo are lining up to see Zola, a young seal who
escaped her enclosure and took up residence in a pond close by.

Some
three weeks ago, Zola managed to wiggle out of her enclosure and flop a
short distance across to the Karlsruhe Zoo's "swan pond." Since then,
she has evaded capture, happy to splash around the pond, which is also
inhabited by turtles, fish, ducks and swans, of course.
A seal at a
German zoo has quickly become the main attraction after escaping her
enclosure and making herself at home in a nearby pond.

Word of
the spirited seal's adventure in the southern German city has spread,
and now there are reportedly long lines of people waiting to catch a
glimpse of her. But many have left disappointed. Zola prefers to wait
until visitors leave for the day to come out and frolic, zookeeper Irene
Schicker-Ney told news agency DPA on Thursday.
She reportedly
enjoys swimming around in solitude, and gardeners say they have even
seen her spend the night in one of the boats that visitors can use to
ride across the pond.
