Mosul zoo's last two animals reach safer ground in Jordan

The last two surviving animals from Mosul's dilapidated zoo arrived this week at an animal shelter in Jordan, after months of malnutrition and a long journey out of Iraq that included being stuck at the border for 12 days.    Simba the lion and Lola the bear lived in a once-peaceful animal park that has been destroyed by months of fighting between Iraqi forces and Islamic State militants.The park, located in Eastern Mosul, was retaken by Iraqi forces earlier this year.Amir Kh
