This story, which made the headlines of the international press, began on November 17 when an otter was spotted eating koi in the ponds of the clbadical Chinese garden.

In total, the otter ate about 10 koi residents, confirms the park's council, but the fate of Madonna, the garden's 50-year-old koi, remains unknown to this day.

On Wednesday, November 28, the water level in the pond was lowered so that the staff of the garden, the park's board of directors and AquaTerra Environmental Ltd. can netter the remaining koi.
