The death toll of blackbucks at Belagavi’s Rani Channamma Mini Zoo has risen sharply from 8 to 31 within just three days.
With seven more blackbucks battling for life, veterinarians fear the toll may climb further, as a suspected outbreak of haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) continues to ravage the enclosure.
Veterinarians and wildlife experts say the scale and speed of mortality is unprecedented in any Indian zoo or wildlife facility.
