Five Koalas Die at Duisburg Zoo Due to Severe Digestive Issues

The Duisburg Zoo faces a crisis as two more koalas are euthanized after a string of deaths linked to digestive tract problems.

Two koalas, Godarra and Eora, were euthanized after their health deteriorated due to severe digestive issues.
A total of five koalas have died at the Duisburg Zoo recently, highlighting a critical situation for the zoo's koala population.
The remaining four koalas are healthy and have been separated from the affected ones as a precautionary measure.
Pathological examinations revealed changes in the gut bacteria of the deceased koalas, a known issue in koalas that is difficult to treat.
The zoo, a European leader in koala care, continues to investigate the causes of the digestive problems while the Koala House remains closed to the public.
