There aren’t many meeting rooms from which you can observe an elephant. The meeting room in the administration building of the Berlin Zoo is right next to the elephant enclosure, so Hilla Lavie and Tuvia Singer were able to watch bull elephant Victor, born at Israel’s Ramat Gan zoo in 1993, through the window as he slowly moved around the enclosure while they were meeting with zoo director Andreas Knieriem, who holds a doctorate in veterinary medicine.
