Junagadh (Gujarat), May 12 (IANS) A one-year-old lion cub has died at the Sakarbaugh zoo of Junagarh town in Gujarat, officials said Monday. The cub was brought to the zoo a year ago after it was abandoned by its mother. “It had been under treatment since then as it was afflicted with blindness and illness of the brain,” veterinary surgeon C.N. Bhuva said.

“The cub was on the life support system. We could not save it,” Bhuva said.
