Hajar lion cub sudden death
An international animal charity says a month-old lion cub whose mother had been rescued from a defunct zoo in war-stricken Syria has died.
The Four Paws charity says Hajar, born a day after its mother Dana arrived at a wildlife refuge in Jordan, died on September, 8.
The group says that at some point Dana had stopped taking care of the cub. A veterinary team took the cub from its mother for medical care, but Hajar’s condition worsened in recent days.
Charity spokesman Martin Bauer says tests are being conducted to determine the cause of death.
