Only 23 of 107 rehabilitated tortoises survive at Mumbai zoo
Twenty-three out of the 107 star tortoises transferred to the Byculla Zoo in Mumbai for rehabilitation two years ago have survived. The anti-poaching unit in Thane this week transported the 23 surviving tortoises to an NGO, which said 15 are in a critical condition and only eight are eating. Byculla Zoo officials said 84 tortoises had died of natural causes.
