KARACHI: A rare pair of bears arrived at the Karachi zoo after 16 years.
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) transferred the pair of bears, a South Asain male and Syrian female, to the zoo.
Speaking at the occasion, deputy mayor Arshad Vohra said that they were making efforts to improve conditions of the zoo adding that more animals will be added in the coming months.
Quite contrary to his promises the bears kept in a hollow cement cage, looked a sorry picture.
Removed from their natural habitat and forced to spend time in cramped cages with deteriorating cleanliness conditions, it seems like all hope is lost for animals at Karachi zoo.
A number of animals including three newborn Puma cubs and a Bengal tiger have been reported dead in the recent past.
