The newborn lioness, Rita, born at the Bahawalpur Safari Zoo, has died due to illness. Rita was born to an African lioness a month ago.
According to the zoo administration, the newborn lioness Rita was healthy at birth, but two weeks ago, she fell victim to diarrhea, which worsened her condition. Doctors from the Wildlife Department treated Rita, but her health continued to decline until she passed away. The zoo administration stated that a post-mortem was being conducted on the young lioness to determine the cause of her death.
