APPLE VALLEY — The oldest tiger at the Minnesota Zoo has died.

The zoo says the tiger named Molniy died Sunday of health complications related to aging. He was 16 years old — or about 80 in human years.

Molniy came to the Minnesota Zoo in 2002 from the Detroit Zoo. Zoo officials say the Amur tiger surpassed the expected lifetime of a wild tiger.

The Star Tribune  reports the big cat suffered from arthritis.

Three tigers remain at the Apple Valley zoo.
