| November 22, 2009 | A man-eater tiger at Lucknow Zoo has cancer, being treated | | Lucknow: Lucknow zoo authorities, aided by veterinarians, are treating a man-eater tiger diagnosed with cancer. Two-and- half-year old male tiger 'Kishen' had killed
five people before being trapped by wildlife wardens in the Kishenpur sanctuary.
Lucknow Zoo Director Renu Singh said: " We saw wounds around the ear of the tiger,
and after repeated dressings, the wound reappeared. We did biopsy and found it
is suffering from 'haemangio sarcoma'- a cancer of the blood vessels.” The tiger
was brought to the zoo in March this year and has been under constant medical
observation and care since then.
