On December 9, a gaur (Indian bison) strayed into a residential area in Pune city's Kothrud, triggering panic among residents, and died after being captured by a forest team.
After the death, Divisional Conservator of Forests Rahul Patil had said that the animal may have died because of stress or rise in the body temperature.
The gaur, also called as the Indian bison, has been listed as 'vulnerable' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List since 1986.
