Tokyo zoo loses 3 lionesses to heatstroke
Three lionesses died at Tama Zoo in Tokyo within one week, and it is suspected that the cause of death was heatstroke resulting from a severe heatwave that affected the area. The lionesses, aged between 3 and 15 years, were found to have suffered from severe dehydration and multi-organ failure during post-mortem examinations, but the exact cause is still under investigation. The zoo reported that the sudden rise in temperatures in July led to a decline in the lions' health, as they lost their appetite and exhibited severe symptoms, prompting treatment and the cessation of public display. This is considered the first lion mortality at the zoo that is likely linked to hot weather since its opening 62 years ago.
