The Delhi Zoo has announced a significant increase in security measures following a tragic incident where a fight between two male chinkaras resulted in the death of one. The clash, which occurred on June 1, highlighted the intrinsic aggressive behavior among male animals.

Zoo Director Sanjeet Kumar detailed the event, explaining that while such fights are natural, they sometimes lead to severe consequences. The affected chinkara suffered an intestinal injury and, despite medical efforts, did not survive. The surviving male, with minor injuries, has been placed with other animals.
