A white tiger on Saturday died after being bitten by a venomous cobra at the Kamala Nehru zoo in Indore.
Three-year-old white tiger ‘Rajjan’ was found dead inside the cage at the zoo on Saturday morning while a cobra snake in an injured condition was also found near the cage, zoo in-charge Uttam Yadav told reporters.
“It appears that the tiger had a fight with the snake and died after the snake bit the big cat,” he said.
The white tiger was brought from Bhilai some days back only.
Post-mortem of the animal confirmed that it died because of the poison, Mr. Yadav added.
