Zoo authorities are keen to find out the exact reason behind the death of the seven-year-old tigress though it is suspected that Dona died due to a kidney infection. Ruling out cold as the reason behind Dona’s death, Chakravarty claimed they took proper precautions to protect animals during winters. Tata zoo director Bipul Chakravarty said samples of Dona’s kidney, liver, lung and spleen had been sent to the IVRI as they want to know about the exact reasons behind animal’s death. But we are not sure about it and want to know about the actual reason that resulted in her death,” he added. The Tata zoo now has three Royal Bengal tigers, Kailash, Saloni and Sunaina.
