A pregnant hippopotamus at the Tyavarekoppa Lion and Tiger Safari in Shivamogga, Karnataka, India, has experienced intrauterine fetal death, losing its calf while under medical observation. The hippo, approximately eight months pregnant, is being closely monitored by veterinary teams who are providing supportive care, including dietary supplements. This marks the third pregnancy loss for the hippo, raising concerns about its reproductive health. The calf's death follows the tragic incident last month where veterinarian Dr. Samiksha Reddy was fatally attacked by the same hippo during a thermal scanning procedure. Dr. Reddy, who had recently joined the safari for specialized wildlife training, succumbed to her injuries shortly after the attack. In response to these events, the Forest Department has mandated stricter enforcement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for zoo veterinarians and established a committee to investigate the incident. Authorities are currently awaiting test results to determine the cause of the calf's death and are investigating the health issues surrounding the hippo.
