New attractions at zoo park

HYDERABAD, SEPT. 28. Sunitha, a white tigress of the Nehru Zoological Park, gave birth to two white tiger cubs recently.

The tigress bred with tiger Rudra, which was acquired from the Nandankannan Zoo. With this, the zoo had four male and two female white tigers.

A Malayan Sun bear, Vanaja, also gave birth to a healthy female cub. Special care was taken to breed the animal in captivity and this was the first successful breeding of Malayan Sun bears in the 40-year history of the zoo.

The Nehru Zoological Park had acquired one male and two female Malayan Sun bears from Pingtung Rescue Centre for Endangered Wild Animals, Taiwan, in 1998.
