Marjan Arrives at Kabul Zoo
He is not yet bolted down here, but the sculpture of Marjan the lion has been sent from the NC Zoo to the Kabul Zoo.
The sculpture was donated to Kabul Zoo, through the NC Zoo Society, by Austin (Texas) artist Bob Coffee, who wanted to participate in and commemorate the generosity of Americans to the animals and people of Kabul.
NC Zoo Director David Jones helped arrange the transport of Marjan, as he arranged so much of the aid.
Marjan was injured in earlier fighting at Kabul Zoo and died before long enjoying the improvements there.
