Since Sunday, Jewel has received round-the-clock observation and extensive supportive care from the animal care and veterinary personnel.
Denise M. Verret, CEO & zoo director, Los Angeles Zoo, stated that the whole Los Angeles Zoo family is mourning this loss.
Thirty years under private ownership, Jewel and her partner, 57-year-old Tina, maintained a strong bond.
