At least nine zebras have died in 22 days in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park in Gazipur. Md Jahidul Kabir, project director of the safari park, said the animals died between Jan 2 and Jan 24, but could not confirm the cause of the deaths. “The deaths of so many animals in a short period of time are unprecedented in the safari park,” said Tabibur, adding that the park was home to 31 zebras. At least 90 per cent of the dead zebras were female and most of them were born in the park. The safari park has a strong security system, the project director said, adding there was no chance for outsiders to enter and poison the animals.
