Mangaluru: A Royal Bengal Tigress – Rani – under captivity at Dr. Shivrama Karantha Pilikula Nisarga Dhama has given birth to five healthy cubs recently.
The newborn cubs, three of which are female are being nurtured by their mother.
Since the cubs are at risk of contracting infections in the initial 2-3 months, they will be monitored by the caretakers. At the end of this period, the cubs will be administered with vaccines and later they will be brought into the open environment of the park.
Three years ago, Rani was brought to Pilikula Nisarga Dhama from Bannerghatta National Park. There is a likelihood of her being transferred to some other zoo after three years. Meanwhile, the park may soon be home to two White Tigers who are expected to arrive from Tirupati Zoo.
As of now, Pilikula Park is home to eight tigers which includes five males and three females. The park also has four lions, two each of Asiatic and Afro Asian. It is also home eight leopards, two bears, four Hippopotamus, and other 1200 other animals of over a 100 species of animal kingdom.
