A nine-month-old female white tiger, which was undergoing treatment, died at Delhi Zoo due to “traumatic shock” and “acute pneumonia”, officials said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The cub, which was under observation at the hospital since September, died four days ago, zoo director Sanjeev Kumar said.<\/p>\n
“The female cub was under treatment. She passed away due to traumatic shock and acute pneumonia. Her samples have been sent to the lab for testing,” SanjeevKumar told PTI.<\/p>\n
To ensure the safety of the remaining animals, SanjeevKumar said preventive treatment and close observation have been initiated for the other cubs.<\/p>\n
An official source in the zoo said three tiger cubs were admitted to the hospital for different reasons. The cub which died had suffered a fracture.<\/p>\n
“The treatment of the other cubs has been completed, and they are doing fine,” the source said.<\/p>\n
Established in 1952, the National Zoological Park, also known as Delhi Zoo, is located in a 176-acre area under the Central government’s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
