The Toronto Zoo says one of its moose has been euthanized after its health deteriorated over several months.
The moose, named Trilly, died last week at the age of 11, which the Zoo says is beyond the life expectancy of moose in human care.
The organization says Trilly was “quite thin” despite efforts to increase how much she ate, and an autopsy suggests that may be due to malabsorption. More tests are needed to provide a final diagnosis.
It says she also had arthritis in several joints and a ruptured tendon on the left hock. Trilly was one of two moose in its Canadian Domain.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 12, 2024.
