PESHAWAR: Another giraffe died at the Peshawar zoo on Monday, making it the fourth giraffe to die in the past few months, ARY News reported.

According to the zoo deputy director, immediate treatment was provided to the animal but he could not survive. He said that the giraffe had died due to excessive saliva and diarrhea.

With another death, only two giraffes remain at the zoo, out of the six.

Back in June, a three-year-old giraffe had died at the Peshawar Zoo in mysterious circumstances. Earlier, a giraffe had died on April 17 while a zebra also died in the facility.
