## Caption

Over the past week, three female lions at Tama Zoo in Tokyo died from suspected heatstroke. The lions, aged 3, 11 and 15, were all born at the zoo. Several other lions have also fallen ill due to the extreme heat and are receiving treatment. The lion enclosure has been closed to the public.⁣
⁣
A zoo spokesperson said on August 4 that Japan's hot and humid summer climate, unlike Africa's dry heat, is difficult for lions to adapt to.⁣
