Zebra dies after suspected viper bite at Nandanvan Jungle Safari in Chhattisgarh

A zebra at Nandanvan Jungle Safari in Nava Raipur died early Friday morning after being bitten on the face by a venomous snake, likely a viper. The animal, recently arrived from Gujarat, succumbed within thirty minutes. Officials stated that while snake bites on herbivores are rare, the zebra may have startled the snake, leading to the defensive bite.
