Tigers in local zoo waiting for companions

Hindustan Times  

The death of two tigresses named ‘Mohini’ and ‘Elaichi’ in Ludhiana Zoo in October 2013 had kicked of f a controversy over the cause behind the death of two big cats within 48 hours. However, after the death of the tigresses, two tigers in the zoo ‘Mani’ and ‘Deepak’ were at the receiving end as they lost their partners, whose company, according to the experts, is essential for the physical as well as the psychological health of the animals. As per the guidelines of Central Zoo Authority of India, animals must be kept in congenial pairs in the zoos whereas the tigers in ‘Ludhiana Tiger Safari’ have been living without female companions for the past eight months. We are regularly making efforts to get new tigresses in the zoo.” The Ludhiana Zoo also has animals like black buck, blue bulls, barking deer, jackals, emu and porcupine, in addition to the exotic birds like ducks, parrots, silver pigeons and silver dove.
