Marjan the one-eyed lion is getting “better day by day” according to the latest ITN TV news report – the third so far this year – from Kabul zoo (ITN Evening News, 22 January, 2002). Also doing well is an Asiatic black bear, “the other main casualty of the fighting”, suffering from a wounded nose. ITN reassured viewers that the bear was being fed antibiotics as part of a “balanced diet”, which should help the nose heal.
