The public viewing of the cubs born to Tara, a white tigress, and Rockey, was inaugurated on December 24 by Minister in-charge of Mysuru district S.T. Somashekar
It’s a happy time at the century-old Mysuru zoo as three new tiger cubs are on display for the visitors.
The cubs were born to Tara, a white tigress, and Rockey, a male tiger, which was added to the zoo’s collection after its rescue in Hunsur four years ago. Tara, who is eight years old now, was brought to the zoo from the zoo in Chennai, on August 3, 2018.
Minister in-charge of Mysuru district S.T. Somashekar released the tiger cubs for public viewing on Saturday.
The timing of the public display of the cubs coincides with the Christmas holidays as the zoo has been witnessing record footfall.
Among the three cubs, two are females and one male. Each cub weighs between 30-35 kilograms. A total of 19 tiger cubs, including seven males and 12 females, were born at the zoo since 2010.
The male cub born to Tara and Rockey will be shifted to Chitradurga Zoo in the coming days.
In total, the zoo has 11 tigers, including five females, three males and three cubs. At Chamundi Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre at Koorgalli here, there are six tigers. All these tigers were the rescued ones.
