Death
With around 320 animal species and almost 8000 animals, the population of zoo animals is constantly changing. Here, you can find an overview of last month's deaths.
There are two categories:
- Death due to medical reasons
- Death for species management
Medical reasons
The animal has reached the end of its life and/or is so sick or injured that we can no longer help it. It may die a natural death or be euthanised. In the Masoala rainforest, sometimes one animal eats another.
