SINGAPORE — Two sea lions from the Singapore Zoo have died in the span of three months, most likely from an infection, while three of the five remaining sea lions have developed skin conditions. This has sparked concern among the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), while the authorities have requested for more information on the deaths.
TODAY was alerted by a reader, who sent some pictures of the animals’ holdings areas, one of which showed four sea lions cramped into a small pool. One appeared to have a reddened wound on its belly.
These incidents are “disappointing” and suggest that “the level of care seems to be declining”, said ACRES executive director Louis Ng, adding that ACRES was open to working with the zoo on making improvements.
