LAHORE: In a recent development, Lahore Safari Zoo has welcomed seven new loin cubs including two white loins. The sudden addition to the zoo collection has gained rapid popularity amongst the tourists.
The cubs were born to three lionesses, with one lioness giving birth to three cubs, while the other two each had two cubs.
In addition to the lion cubs, three healthy Royal Bengal tiger cubs were also born at the zoo in recent weeks.
According to the zoo’s director, Tanveer Ahmed Janjua, all the cubs are healthy. However, four of the lion cubs were not accepted by their mothers and are being hand-fed by the zoo staff.
Before the lion cubs, three Royal Bengal tiger cubs were born a few weeks ago. With the birth of these new cubs, the lion population at the zoo has grown from 22 to 29.
In another development, the port city zoo’s one and only elephant, Madhubala who is currently 16 years old has been transferred to Safari Park, Four Paws ( International Animal Welfare Organization) announced on Tuesday.
The relocation of the last remaining solitary elephant is finally done, and Madhubala has now joined the two elephants, Sonia and Malika, after some fifteen years in the Safari park.
Earlier, Four Paws announced that the training for Madhubala entry and exit out of the container has been completed with success. Today the carriage carrying the elephant was lifted by a carne.
Primary assistance was provided for better and safer relocation procedures during the transport of the elephant, including briefings to clear the roads.
