A 7-year-old Bengali tiger has passed away at the historic Sher Bagh in Bahawalpur. The tiger had been ill for several weeks and had stopped eating or drinking for the past three days.

According to Sher Bagh’s curator, Usman Bukhari, the tiger died due to kidney and stomach-related issues. The body has been sent to the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at Islamia University for a post-mortem examination.
