Mysuru, Mar 3: A male tiger and a king cobra brought to Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo) from Pilikula Biological Park at Mangaluru under animal exchange programme died within two days of their arrival.

The tiger and king cobra in question had been brought here on February 28 from Manglauru in order to add new animals to the zoo's possessions. The animals which died were quarantined as per procedure. The tiger is believed to have died on account of cardiac failure while the king cobra died due to liver problems, the zoo
authorities have claimed.

A pair of tigers, a pair of king cobras, and a pair of ducks had been brought from Mangaluru on the night of February 27 along with a pair of monitor lizards. The truck carrying these animals had safely reached Mysuru zoo on February 28. In normal course, animals coming from other zoos are quarantined and cared for before they are kept in their respective enclosures. The animals which died were being treated at the hospital inside the zoo compound.

But a male king cobra lost its life on February 29, and the male tiger that was in the cage suddenly collapsed to death on March 1. Post-mortem revealed that it suffered from cardiac failure, it is said.

    Any changes are very stressful for captive wild animals as they do not understand what is happening. Any negligence results in tragedy. And since both animals died i suspect major negligence.

    Sad that both rare animals died soon after they reached Mysore zoo.I feel it is not the truth because of cardiac arrest.was there no doctor accompanying the animals?Was not taken proper care by him from time to time?Lack of care or too much sedated?We will not know the truth.May be too long drive?When these animals live in Jungle without food or care for days or bad weather years,strange they both died soon after reaching there.Gives one to think twice.

    This is just sad news and also a coincidence that both the cobra and tiger died at the same time. Maybe it is just plain bad luck. I have visited Mysore zoo and seen that all animals are well taken care of there. Pilikula too takes good care of its animals. The exchange programme too is good and happens the world over. Only hope they will be able to study and find the real reasons ( food, transportation, sickness or weather) and take adequate precautions the next time.

    These all cases happens due to various reason. First one is weather, M'Lore weather is bit moist along with mild hot breeze. But Mysore is dry weather. Second one is, way for transporting animals. Because, these roads had tribe potholes & its very hard for humans to tolerate the road stokes. More over, its sad to loosing animal due to exchanges. Rather than exchange, please catch animals from local forest. If these are not locally available, import it. But before that, create an same atmosphere to make them conformable.

    Please don't send our animals to outside Mangalore. If you can't keep them in the zoo, leave them in the jungle. Don't play with their lives. How they were transported who knows? Were they fed with sufficient food? Water? Very sad....so much fees are collected.. Please look after them well... One imu bird is there... It's lonely... Small boundary...half of the feathers have gone.. Bring one more or give this to someone where other birds are there of same species.... 😥😥

    Two Indian Gaur calves, four Black Swans and two striped Hyenas were despatched to Mangaluru’s Pilikula Nisarga Dhama from Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens at Mysuru in exchange for two Lesser Whistling Ducks, two Royal Bengal Tigers and four King Cobras to Mysuru. We got these animals in return of these exotic animals.

    What we got in return for so many exchange of animals. The death of animals shouldn't result in loosing our share of exchange animals.

    If you separate animals separately ( one alone) from their regular (captivity) place they feel isolated and succumb, even you transfer a single fish from a aquarium it happens,Animal doctor should have known this first.
    They may be having thousand reasons to avoid further enquiry.

    These beings are meant to be living in the wild. Zoo caging limits their hunting instincts, their physical state due to restricted movement and diet. Zoo system should be abolished. Alternatively, breeding facilities should be encouraged to increase the numbers. If the tiger goes extinct, the whole ecosystem will collapse.

    These animals loved Mangaluru from the bottom of their heart. And the Zoo people send them to Mysuru. See what happened.
