Last chance to watch a puma?

VISAKHAPATNAM SEPT. 18. Vanyaprani Saptah could be the last chance for Vizagites to watch a puma in the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park with the grand-old American Mountain Lion nearing its natural end and no replacement or a companion in sight in the near future. This probably would be the best chance for the zoo authorities to focus attention on puma.

The majestic feline, Sheela, from the cat family is 19 years old, outliving its expected longevity and surviving on a tender diet of soft minced chicken, liver and milk with protein additives as all its teeth are broken or withered rendering it unable to consume beef.
