Welcome Guests at Dhaka Zoo

 Staff reporter, 13, Feb, 2018 :

On last Friday , three new guests have arrived at Dhaka zoo. A tigress had given birth to three cubs and they are well now.

The total number of tigers at Mirpur national zoo now stands at fifteen. The workers of the zoo and the spectators, specially the children are all very happy to see these new guest though these little cubs have not shown up much.

On last Saturday , Dr.Sujon Ahmed , the scientific officers said that after a month it will be known if the cubs are male or female . The cubs will also be able to see after 12-15 days. Their mother will bring her siblings in public after passing few more days. But presently ,she keeps them almost hiding.

When asked , if this weather will be any problem to the cubs or not, Dr.Sujon mentioned that extreme weather both hot or cold definitely is a problem for these animals. This hot weather may caused by this hot spell. The water in the small pool is frequently changed because the tigress is often dipping into the water.
