SINGAPORE : Another orang utan has died at the Singapore Zoo.
30-month-old Atina died when her neck snapped after her mother Anita and other orang utans tried to free her from a nylon rope support. Her head was entangled by the rope while she was playing.
The Singapore Zoo said she died instantly.
Atina's mother, Anita, is an orang utan that singer Anita Sarawak found at the doorstep of her condominium in Pandan Valley 23 years ago.
The Zoo said that it is greatly distressed to lose Atina in the freak accident.
The tragedy comes just less than a week after Ah Meng, Singapore's famous orang utan, died of old age. - CNA/de
