An 11-month old Malayan tiger cub at Zoo Negara has died after drowning at the zoo’s tiger enclosure’s moat, revealed New Straits Times.
The news portal also learned that the female cub, Melur, had in fact died in March this year and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) confirmed that it was informed of the tiger cub’s death.
It is believed that Melur’s death was accidental, though not many details are currently known.
She was born in May 2019, with brothers Wira and Hebat, to parents Kayla and Jati – and their births were a cause for celebration as a milestone for the zoo’s in-captivity breeding endeavours.
