In sad news for SGNP visitors, the park has lost its oldest captive lion, Ravindra. The big cat died on Monday evening due to age-related issues, said officials.

Clement Ben, additional principal chief conservator of forests, Wildlife-West, told mid-day, “Ravindra was 17-years-old and he was suffering from age-related issues since the past two years. He was under the medical supervision of the vet committee.”
