Lucknow: A lion who was ailing for over a month died
today due to multiple organ failure at the Lion Breeding Centre in
Etawah, officials sources said. A forest department spokesman said that
advice from experts from across the country and abroad was taken for the
treatment of the lion, named Vishnu, who was taken ill since the last
one and a half months.
Vishnu died of cardiac arrest due to multi
organ dysfunction this morning, he said. It is the second feline to die
at Etawah Safari.
On October 30 an ailing lioness, named Lakshmi,
who was ill for past one year, died due to multi-organ failure at the
breeding centre, Etawah.
The Asiatic lion pair—Lakshmi and
Vishnu—sent from the Kanpur Zoo to Etawah Lion Safari in September were
suffering from ‘multiple infections’, including a viral infection that
led to paralysis.
Both of them were later segregated and
hospitalised in the safari soon after they showed symptoms of paralysis.
They were brought to Kanpur Zoo from Hyderabad in April 2013.
