Zoo director Sanjeet Kumar said, “The gaur calf was under maternal care in the arena with no previous sign of illness. The reason of death will be ascertained after postmortem and sample testing.”

This incident adds to a string of recent animal fatalities in the Delhi Zoo, several of which were attributed to age-related complications.

In February, a 15-year-old nilgai undergoing treatment for age-related issues died, while a 22-year-old jaguar, also under intensive care, died on February 19.
