Rajasthan's Oldest Captive Tigress Rambha Dies
Rambha, a 21.4-year-old tigress, was the oldest tiger in captivity in Rajasthan.
She lived in the Nahargarh Biological Park and was very popular among visitors and staff.
Tigers usually live 13-14 years in the wild and about 17 years in captivity, so Rambha's long life was special.
She was born in the Jaipur Zoo and later moved to Nahargarh.
Everyone was sad when she died, but they were also proud of how well she was cared for.
A doctor did a check-up to understand more about her death.
