LAHORE: An urial fawn was born at the Lahore Zoo on Saturday.

The zoo had two male and two female urials and with the addition of the newborn, the count has reached five. Both the mother and the fawn are in healthy condition.

Urial is an important animal owing to the point of view of conservation. This birth has a good credit since the zoo is trying its best to resolve the pairing issues.
