Bondla Zoo in Goa has been temporarily closed to the public after five animals were reported to have fallen prey to a viral infection. The decision to close the zoo was made in order to prevent the spread of the infection to other animals and ensure their safety. The infected animals include a sloth bear, leopard, deer, and two porcupines. The zoo authorities have taken necessary steps to treat the infected animals and prevent the further spread of the virus. Visitors who had already planned a trip to the zoo are advised to reschedule their visit until the situation is under control. Bondla Zoo is a popular tourist destination in Goa, known for its diverse collection of wildlife. The closure of the zoo has come as a disappointment to many visitors, but the health and well-being of the animals must take precedence. The zoo authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are working towards reopening the zoo to the public as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, efforts are being made to ensure the speedy recovery of the infected animals and prevent any further cases of the viral infection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
