On Thursday, the city administration launched an investigation into the death of a Golden Tabby Tiger at a zoo in the port city.
Alfied, the big cat, was 21 years old and was discovered dead in its cage this morning. The Bengal Tiger subspecies appeared to have died of cardiac arrest, as the average age of tigers in captivity is between 20 and 26 years.
According to reports, the tiger was not feeling well and had stopped eating for a few days. The zoo’s veterinarians had done everything they could to keep the tiger healthy.
In 2013, Alfie was moved from Safari Park to Karachi Zoo.
