A female giraffe named Shivani died at the Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) on Thursday.
BBP said that the giraffe aged about three years and ten months stopped eating from May 3.
“The best possible veterinary care was provided by the team of veterinarians. However, she did not respond to the treatment and eventually succumbed on May 7,” BBP said.
It added that a postmortem was conducted and the report reveals that the death was due to caecal torsion.
“Visceral samples have been collected and sent to the Institute of Animal Health and Veterinary Biologicals laboratory for further examination,” it added.
The giraffe was shifted from Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens in February 2024.
