JAKARTA, Indonesia — All of the animals at Indonesia’s largest zoo — many of them critically endangered — could be dead within five years unless strong action is taken to change the culture of neglect and corruption that permeates the facility, a zoo official said Saturday.
An endangered Sumatran tiger was found dead Saturday in its cage at the Surabaya Zoo, said spokesman Agus Supangkat. In recent days, a lion and a kangaroo also have died, he said.
He said hundreds of animals die every year at the zoo, and others suffer from hunger, stress and overcrowding. The 94-year-old facility was built under Dutch colonial rule on a 37-acre plot of land and holds 4,200 animals.
