What an unfortunate accident. A valuable breeding cow was lost.... Yet accidents of the sort happen unfortunately.

Thats so unfortunate! I remember how about 5-10 years ago Arjun & Jamie’s (Zoo Tampa’s former breeding pair) male calf Jahi was transported to San Diego after living at the Central FL Zoo and died of mysterious circumstances when he was still quite young.
