India, Feb. 27 -- A 15-year-old female leopard, called Babli, at the Delhi zoo, died on Wednesday morning of old-age related complications, zoo officials said, adding that the animal was not eating much since the past few days and was under treatment at the zoo veterinary hospital.

Babli is the latest in a string of casualties reported from the Delhi zoo over the past fortnight. Two other animals -- jaguar and a nilgai -- had also died of old-age related deaths recently, zoo officials had said. The 15-year-old nilgai was undergoing treatment for age-related issues and died on February 13, while the 22-year-old jaguar was also under prolonged treatment and intensive care before eventually dying on February 19.
