A 7-year-old tiger died at the Reid Park Zoo today, city officials said Thursday afternoon.

Fred Gray, the city’s Parks and Recreation Director, said zookeepers saw the tiger, named Raja,
at about 2:00 p.m. and the tiger seemed to be doing fine. But an hour later, zookeepers found the tiger dead in its cage, Gray said.

Gray said he was unsure how long the average tiger lives, but said it is longer than seven years.
He said the tiger died a natural death, but the city does not yet know the cause.

Zoo officials are conducting an examination and an necropsy of the tiger and will have more information later.
