Mysuru: Minnie, a 10.8-year-old Bornean orangutan at Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo), is under intensive medical care after being diagnosed with pneumonia — a recurring respiratory illness that has affected her multiple times in recent years.
Minnie, a star attraction at the Zoo for the past four years, was imported from Malaysia’s Safari Wonderland Zoo in 2002 under an international animal exchange programme. As an arboreal (tree-dwelling) species, Bornean orangutans like Minnie are critically endangered, making her health a top priority for Zoo authorities.
