"lions"

World Lion Day is celebrated every year on August 10, with an aim to raise awareness about their declining population.

Tigers, lions, hippos and rhinos will be brought here, besides other types of animals and birds.

The samples of eight lions including four females were sent for analysis after the zoo staff noticed that they developed symptoms like nasal discharge, cough and loss of appetite.

The Ministry has also instructed the Chief Wildlife Wardens to initiate preventive measures to stop the transmission and spread of virus from humans to wild animals in the National Parks, sanctuaries and other protected areas.

Majority of the 13 translocated lions that were monitored by a team of scientists in Botswana, died within a year of being moved.

RaagaTrippin, the popular Indian A-Capella group known for creating instrument-free music, have created the song using sounds of creatures like peacocks, elephants, monkeys, lions, and chimpanzees.
