“It is very good news for the wild lovers that Rika, the only tigress in Bengal Safari gave birth to three cubs. All are in good health, we are taking all percussion to take care of her with the special veterinary doctors and everything is monitored by Cameras. This will help to bring more and more tourists to visit the park,” ANI quoted State Forest Minister Jyoti Priya Mallick as saying.
The authorities are in the process of preparing to launch a ‘Lion Safari’ at the park, the Minister added. Rika, a five-year-old tigress, is among three tigresses named by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, all born at the Bengal Safari Park in 2018.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee inaugurated the Bengal Safari Park for wildlife enthusiasts in the region. Covering an expanse of 100 acres, the park currently houses tigers, deer, rhinos, elephants, jungle fowls, birds, bears, and various other animals.
This exciting event reminds us how important it is to have places where animals are taken care of. In 2020, at the North Bengal Wild Animal Park, also called Bengal Safari Park, something similar happened. A tigress named Sheela became a mother to three cubs, making everyone at the park very happy.
