A bison was found dead on Monday morning at the Sofia Zoo, authorities say.

This is the seventh similar incident in less than ten days, with a baby capricorn and a yak having died last week and a camel and three gaurs the previous one.

Prior to its death the bison had been ill, according to information quoted by private national channel bTV.

The latest version explaining the mysterious developments shows they might have been caused by pesticides in the animals' fodder.
