A few weeks ago, Arun, the one-year-old male elephant's birthday, celebrated the zoo and many of them scheduled a zoo visit to this time. Now, however, we have received sad news, and just like elephant. Arun's sister, Five-Year-old Asha, was born on February 14, 2013. Recently, however, caregivers have noticed the cumbersome movement of the female elephant, and has become less affectionate and less communicative with her peers. At that time, they had already guessed that some illness could be in the background. They were just hoping that it was not herpes virus, which was very sneaky. Almost all of the Asian elephants are carriers of the virus, and usually do not cause any problems, but if they grow up on an animal, they can quickly put them down.
In the case of Asha, they also noticed the symptoms and started professional treatment, trusting that the animal's body would overcome the virus. They were even more foresight because blood from blood transfusion had been removed from Asha's father earlier if needed. Unfortunately it was needed, even antibiotics were given, as well as infusions, but the virus could not be overcome. He killed Ash.
The zoo workers are in mourning, and many visitors, interested, animal-friendly, expressed their condolences for the loss.
