Staff at the Toronto Zoo are “emotionally processing” the death of Mila, a 2-year-old Amur tiger born at the facility, who died last week in a “freak accident” involving anesthesia at its new home at a U.S. zoo.
A statements by the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado said Mila died on Friday from a spinal injury after slipping off a waist-high bench while under anesthesia for a dental surgery.
Given the short time frame between her lying down and slipping off, the zoo said it was impossible “from a human safety standpoint” to stop the 270-lb tiger from falling. The zoo called the news "heartbreaking" in its statement, and said it is establishing a fund in honour of Mila to support endangered species conservation projects in the wild.
She was one of three cubs born at the Toronto Zoo born to 'Mazy' in 2021. Two of the cubs had to be euthanized in the weeks after birth due to organ defects. They were the first litter to be born at the zoo since 2007.
