Geocache Description:

A multi-cache through the zoological garden in Baneasa.
The entrance fee is 13 Lei for adults and 6,50 Lei for children, students, etc.
The opening hours are: Monday-Sunday from 0900-1700h in the winter season and 0900-2000h in the summer season.
The box itself is hidden outside the fenced area and accessible 24/7.



At the starting coordinates you can buy a ticket and enter the zoo. Inside, you should find some of the animals and read their information panels. The answers to all questions are to be found there.

Pelicanus crispus / Pelican Creț / Dalmatian Pelican
In its description you can find the length of the bird's body in centimeters. There are two numbers given. Take the smaller number for A.

Lynx lynx / Râs / Lynx
The lynx doesn't only have significant ears, but also a tail. How long can it be? Take the maximum length of the tail in centimeters for B.

Felis concolor / Pumă / Cougar
How many years does a cougar live? Take the number for C.

Cynomys ludovicianus / Câinele de preerie cu coadă neagră / Prairie Dog
Look for the weight of a prairie dog. Take the maximum weight in kg for D.

After leaving the zoo, you will find the cache at:
N 44° 31.XXX; XXX=(B*D)
E 026° 06.YYY; YYY=(A/C+C*D)

For the moment, the box is rather empty as it has been in its place for testing purposes for half a year.
I will add some goodies in the next weeks.

Update 18.8.2017: According to the missing information plate, a puma lives about twenty years.
