Three lions die of suspected heatstroke at Tokyo zoo

Three female lions died of suspected heatstroke at Tokyo's Tama Zoological Park over the last week, marking the first heat-related deaths among the facility's lion population in its 62-year history. The lions, aged 3, 11 and 15 and all born in the zoo, showed signs of severe dehydration and multiple organ failure in post-mortem exams, although the exact cause of death is still under investigation, the zoo said in a press release this week. #lions #tokyo #zoo #animals #heatwave
