    Their breeding pair is Suraj x Saraswati, who were both born and bred at Patna Zoo. Bull and cow are half siblings and share their sire (cows are from different bloodlines.

    Was this an intentional breeding? Why would they breed two half-siblings?

    On November 23rd, it was reported that a 31-year-old man climbed into the lion enclosure (specifically on the rocks surrounding the moat) as was going to jump inside before being stopped by 2 keepers. He has now been arrested and it is unknown how he got into said exhibit.

    Man moves closer to lion moat area at Hyderabad Zoo - Social News XYZ
