Bandung, West Java (ANTARA) – Two eight-month-old Bengal tiger cubs, Huru and Hara, at Bandung Zoo died from panleukopenia, according to the West Java Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BBKSDA).BBKSDA spokesperson Eri Mildranaya said both cubs were infected with the virus, which is particularly dangerous for young animals.”In general, both were infected with panleukopenia. Every effort was made to save them, but the outcome was not as expected,” he said in Bandung on Thursday.He said the cubs were treated through a multi-agency effort involving the Cikole Veterinary Hospital, the Food Security and Agriculture Office (DKPP), BBKSDA, and zoo medical teams.”We are deeply saddened. These cubs had become part of the Bandung community,” he said.The cubs showed symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, and blood in their feces, indicating a viral infection affecting the digestive and immune systems.Eri said the virus could have originated from various sources, including the surrounding environment.”We cannot yet confirm whether other animals are infected. The cubs were immediately isolated and treated intensively once symptoms appeared,” he said.Huru and Hara were reported to have died on Thursday and Tuesday, respectively.They were born on July 12, 2025, to a male named Sahrulkan and a female named Jelita.
