Mysore/Mysuru: Padmavathi, a 71-year-old elephant who spent half a century at the Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo) and was later relocated to the Chamundi Animal Conservation, Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in Koorgalli on the outskirts of the city, passed away on Thursday evening.
Although her health remained stable until Wednesday, she had been showing signs of age-related decline. On Thursday morning, she was found lying down and unable to rise. A veterinary team from Mysuru Zoo promptly began intensive medical care, conducting necessary tests and providing supportive treatment.
