PESHAWAR: The management of the Peshawar Zoo expects to receive next week the report of the samples of the giraffe which had died at the facility recently.
Acting Director of the zoo, Ishtiaq Wazir, said on Friday the zoo management has not yet submitted the autopsy report to the Wildlife Department. He said though the internal report had confirmed that it was an infection that led to the death of the animal, the results of the samples were sent to the laboratories in Peshawar and Islamabad to determine the exact cause of the infection.
The official said the remaining two giraffes were in good health. However, he said the caretakers could not get any clue to their illness from appearance. He said the remaining two giraffes were female and the Zoo management would bring a male for them in the future.
