タロンガ動物園さんのインスタグラム写真 - (タロンガ動物園Instagram)「It is with deep sadness we share the devastating news, that Jai Dee our three-year-old Asian elephant suddenly passed away yesterday afternoon. The preliminary cause of death has been identified as a torsion in the intestines, or a twisted bowel as it is sometimes called. Jai Dee started to show signs of abdominal pain Monday morning and was quickly treated by our Taronga Wildlife Hospital staff who administered medication to ease his symptoms. By midday, Jai Dee was displaying normal behaviour and was monitored closely by keepers and veterinarians, but unfortunately, his condition deteriorated rapidly yesterday morning and despite a full emergency response he devastatingly passed away later that day. Jai Dee was an incredible member of the Taronga family, whose cheeky personality and playful antics which included his love of swimming touched the hearts of many, both locally and around the world. His name in Thai means ‘heart’ and yesterday we lost a piece of Taronga’s heart with his sad passing. Jai Dee was three years old and was the fourth calf born at Taronga Zoo Sydney as part of our commitment to the regional breeding program for this endangered species. This is an extremely sad time for all who loved and cared for him, particularly our Elephant team whom he shared a special bond with. We invite all of our community to leave a message of condolence and support in the comments below. #forthewild」10月14日 9時10分
