Temperaturile au crescut atât de mult în Japonia încât leii au început să moară de șoc termic la grădina zoologică din Tokyo

Three lionesses died from suspected heat shock at Tokyo's Tama Zoo, marking the first such fatalities in 62 years. Post-mortem examinations revealed severe dehydration and organ failure. As temperatures soared in mid-July, many lions lost their appetite and became lethargic, requiring treatment. The zoo has since suspended public access to the lion enclosure and is providing cooling measures and intravenous medications. The extreme heat and humidity in Tokyo pose challenges for these lions, which are adapted to dry conditions in sub-Saharan Africa.
