A | Adelaide (Australia), Oct 12 (UNI) An Australian zoo is investigating the sudden deaths of seven female quokkas and two yellow-footed rock-wallabies.
Why the marsupials died remains a mystery but "plant toxicity" is believed to be the most likely cause, an Adelaide Zoo spokeswoman was quoted as saying by the BBC.
The vet team is confident it was an isolated incident but further investigation was under way, she said.
No animals from other exhibits have shown signs of being unwell since the deaths, which happened last month.
"The loss of one animal, let alone a large group in a sudden incident such as this, is extremely upsetting, particularly for those who care for them," the spokeswoman said.
An 11-month-old quokka joey survived and is recovering in the zoo's health centre. The remaining three male quokkas have been taken off the exhibit, the BBC reported.
Other yellow-footed rock-wallabies and kangaroos were "noticeably flat" after the incident but have now recovered fully, the zoo said.
Pathology and toxicology reports have so far been inconclusive, but the zoo is carrying out more tests to discover what caused the animals to become sick.
The zoo breeds both native marsupials species, which are listed as vulnerable in the wild, the report said.
Often dubbed "the world's happiest animal", quokkas are darlings of tourist photos on social media.
But less than 15,000 remain in the wild, most on Western Australia's Rottnest Island.
UNI MR。 For Salman Khan fans, December 27 is always more than just a date, it is a day of celebration. However, this year is set to be truly historic as the star rings in his 60th birthday. To mark this massive milestone, Salman is preparing a special return gift for his millions of fans: the first official teaser of his highly anticipated war drama, Battle of Galwan.
The buzz around Battle of Galwan has been building for months, and the makers have finally decided that Salman’s diamond jubilee birthday is the perfect time to give the world a first look. According to sources close to the production, the official teaser is expected to be released on December 27 between 2 PM and 4 PM.
The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, is a patriotic drama inspired by the real-life bravery shown during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Salman Khan will be seen playing the role of Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, leading a story that focuses on the immense courage and sacrifice of Indian soldiers.
The teaser is expected to showcase the grand scale of the project, which was filmed in the rugged terrains of Ladakh and Leh. Fans are eager to see Salman in a gritty, intense avatar, moving away from his usual masala roles to a more grounded and powerful performance. The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh, who also plays a key role in the film. Alongside the lead pair, the film also stars Abhilash Chaudhary, Ankur Bhatia, and Zeyn Shaw.
Produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films, Battle of Galwan is aiming for a major release in 2026. While many expected the film to take the traditional Eid slot, reports suggest the team is looking for a vacant window between March and June to ensure the film gets the grand solo release it deserves.Also Read : The Teaser of Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan to Release on THIS Date?。
