German term or phrase: bekommen zu die Flasche
"Loijuk" zum Beispiel hatte es so eilig, sich einer Wildherde anzuschließen, dass sie zweimal mit dem Rüssel das Tor der Ithumba-Station öffnete und fortlief. Einige Monate nach ihrem zweiten Ausbruch war sie Mitglied einer Herde aus ehemaligen Waisen. Der dreijährige "Irima" überlegte es sich dagegen irgendwann anders. Er ***bekam noch ab und zu die Flasche***, als er sich einer Wildherde in der Nähe der Auswilderungsstation Voi anschloss.
