A newborn tiger cub died at the Lucknow Zoological garden here, the third to die in the park within a week.
 
The cub yesterday died at the intensive care unit of the park here.
 
Ipshita, the Royal Bengal tigress, had recently given birth to four cubs of which three have died so far. The tigress had given birth in the zoo after a gap of 14 years.

The first cub who was very weak had died on November 11, the second died on November 15 as the big cat had abandoned them after which the zoo authorities took the custody of the remaining two cubs and shifted them to the ICU.
      
It was in 1995 when three Royal Bengal tigress --Deepali, Shefali and Rupali -- were born here.
