Tata zoo in Jamshedpur welcomes two Royal Bengal tigers

The Tata Steel Zoological Park in Jamshedpur has received two Royal Bengal Tigers from Gorewada Safari International Zoo in Nagpur. The exchange, approved by the Central Zoo Authority, aims to support breeding efforts for this endangered species. The new male and female tigers are currently in a 30-day quarantine in a newly built enclosure. This addition is significant as the zoo seeks to mate them with resident tigresses, potentially producing white tiger cubs. In a related development, the zoo plans to acquire four mugger crocodiles from the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust. This will enhance the zoo's existing crocodile population and support educational initiatives on crocodilian conservation.
