Jadu, Thiruvananthapuram zoo's lone rhino, dies at 39

Jadu, the lone one-horned rhinoceros at Thiruvananthapuram zoo, died on Friday night aged 39 while being treated for age-related ailments. He was brought from the Guwahati zoo on May 19, 1993, at the age of five, at a cost of ₹6.5 lakh, and staff fondly called him Shambhu. In 2004, a female rhino at the zoo was gored to death by another male. A post-mortem will be conducted.
