To celebrate the day there was a delicious gift basket with watermelon and dandelion, which Fatou happily ate. Not edible, but shiny: our bronze medal!

A debut in front of more than six million viewers: Corinna Harfouch is the new commissioner alongside Mark Waschke aka Robert Karow in Berlin’s “Tatort”.

With a double episode, the first introduced Harfouch as Susanne Bonard. The audience reacted benevolently and we award silver – a little room for improvement is good for motivation.

Elephant lady Pang Pha, who lives in Berlin Zoo, likes bananas. And – unlike their conspecifics – without a shell.

The 36-year-old pachyderm has developed his own peeling technique: Pang Pha breaks open the shell and shakes out the fruit with an elegant sweep of his trunk.

An ability that has now brought researchers to the scene: Such eating behavior is extremely rare in elephants. We award banana-yellow gold for so much trunk tip feeling!

Excerpt from the balance sheet of the past weekend: a driver with 105 km/h with the allowed 30 in Tempelhof, another with 85 km/h with the allowed 30 in Karow. Absolutely irresponsible and simply: Tin!
