Letter: Surtis can now enjoy watching white tigers in the city because the Sarthana Nature Park gets a pair of great animals from Zoo Rajkot.
Along with a pair of white tigers, pairs of foxes and silver birds are also accepted.
In return for new animals, install leopards and beavers sent to Rajkot.
Officials said that exchanges with the Rajkot Zoo were planned a few months ago and permission from the Central Zoo’s authority in New Delhi was obtained in March.
In the coming weeks, visitors will also be able to see a glimpse of the cub lion in the zoo.
The child was born in April from a pair of lions originating from the zoo in Raipur in Chhatisgarh.
After his birth, the child was not kept by his mother, so Zookepers had to return it.
On July 14, the first round of vaccination was also carried out and currently the Cub is health, said zoo officials.
“Even though it’s healthy now, we will remain open to visitors after a few weeks,” said an official.
