An aged tigress, estimated to be around 19 years old, died at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Zoological Park located in Kamalapura, Hosapete taluk, due to natural age-related health issues.
The tigress had earlier sustained severe injuries during a human-wildlife conflict and was brought to the park for medical attention.
Officials at the park stated that she had been under care at the rescue centre for nearly two years. Although she had shown improvement, her condition deteriorated with age, leading to her death.
