TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A Sumatran Tiger belongs to Surabaya Zoo's collection is in pathetic condition. The tiger named Melanie is all skin and bone, almost unable to stand on its feet. When Tempo was visiting its cage yesterday, Melani was just lying helplessly.
Public Relation Official of Surabaya Zoo, Agus Supangkat, said that Melani has been sick since three years ago. The zoo's official doctor has been giving intensive medication, but the female tiger has not been recovering. "It is skinny because it is old," said Agus yesterday.
