Gaston, the sea lion who escaped from the Prague zoo during the flood and was caught near Dresden on Monday, died during his transfer to Prague earlier this morning. Gaston died after several hours of the trip. The cause of death could be shock, exhaustion or internal injuries, Prague zoo director Petr Fejk said.

*sob* Maybe Gaston would have fared better if he had time to recover in Germany instead of being shipped back up the river.

It is so sad, all the animals they lost in the flood.
