| September 5, 2010 | Jaipur zoo's oldest tiger dies of cardiac arrest | | Jaipur: The oldest tiger in Jaipur zoo has died following a cardiac arrest. According to zoo authorities, 24-year old Ramu came out of his cage for a stroll in the morning, but soon collapsed after ambling some distance. Authorities
rushed to his enclosure after observing his motionless state for a few minutes.
A post mortem was carried out by three veterinary doctors who confirmed heart
failure as the reason for death. It was a dismal sight for enthusiastic visitors
who came to the zoo to get a glimpse of the ageing big cat. "When we had come
here the last time, the entire zoo used to shake up with his growl. But now, we
are feeling awkward in his absence. He was the oldest among the animals, like
their grandfather. So, we are feeling sad that he is no more. We are feeling as
if something is missing here," said Ritu, a visitor. Ramu, was born in the same
zoo in 1986. He was a major crowd puller in Rajasthan because of his record age.
