Bhubaneswar: After the death of Newly borned penguine, Nandakanan had lost its popular image but tigress Vijaya retains it by delivering two cubs today at the Nandankanan Zoological Park in Bhubaneswar.
Two different coloured cubs took birth within a gap of one hour, said Deputy Director of the zoo, Jayant Kumar Das. The first one borned at 7:05 AM and the second one at 8:00 AM today. Out of two cubs, one is a white tiger while the other one is a Royal Bengal tiger.
Vijaya delivered the cubs out of mating with normal coloured tiger Roshan during June this year. Mother and cubs are in stable condition. Nandakanan staff are monitoring them.
In January this year, white tigress Ankita had given birth to two normal-coloured cubs in an enclosure of the zoo.
Apart from the two cubs, the zoo has at present eight white tigers, two black tigers and 14 Royal Bengal tigers.
