    Two notes on an otherwise hopeful event in the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park in Visakhapatnam (note the spelling) :
    A) I do suspect the failure of the first 2 litters is due to inadequate housing and husbandry techniques. Any photographic evidence of their enclosure(s) - they seem to have 2.1 adults ...!

    B) I do believe better trained animal care staff and a curator clogged onto animal management affairs would do wonders and might enable the female to look after her litter herself and rear it successfully.

    Five new exotic species are being added to the zoo: zebra, pygmy hippo, fishing cat, flamingo, and red-necked wallaby.

    New exotic species to greet zoo visitors

    Should we begin a new thread titled Indira Gandhi Zoological Park so as to avoid confusion?

    I have re-titled the thread and merged it with another (I hope usefully and with correct spelling!) :D
