After the departure of tigress Mailani, the responsibility of entertaining the audience has now fallen on Amar and Geeta. But both are being kept separate. This thing is bothering many people. Local 18 talked to the zoo’s doctor about this.
Gorakhpur. A story of Shaheed Ashfaq Ullah’s Zoo (Gorakhpur) has also become a topic of discussion among the audience. The tigress Mailani, who was the star attraction of the zoo, is no more in this world. About a year ago, after growing old and his health deteriorating, he was taken out of the main enclosure and kept under the supervision of doctors in the zoo hospital. He died a few days ago, after which there was disappointment among the audience. After the departure of Mailani, the responsibility of entertaining the audience has now fallen on the two new tigers Amar and Geeta. A large number of people reach the zoo every day to see these two. His fun antics and aggressive nature thrill the audience a lot.
alternately in and out
However, one thing that surprises many viewers is that Amar and Geeta are not kept together in the same enclosure. Local 18 spoke to zoo doctor Yogesh about this. He told that tiger is a very aggressive species. If two tigers or tigresses are kept in the same enclosure, there is every possibility of a fight between them. For this reason, one day Geeta is kept in the enclosure for the audience and on the next day Amar is kept in the enclosure. Dr. Yogesh tells that many times Darshan demands to see both of them together. But this is not completely possible. This could be risky for them. The nature of tigers does not allow them to live together in one enclosure.
Three more tigers in hospital
At present, tiger Amar and tigress Geeta are being liked a lot by the visitors in the zoo these days. He is also entertaining them. But these days three rescued tigers are also present in the zoo hospital. Who are under doctor’s supervision. They have been rescued from different places. Doctors say that if everything remains normal then soon spectators can see these tigers too.
take hold in old age
The team adopts very special methods to take care of Amar and Geeta present in the zoo. They are given nutritious food daily. Adequate space is provided for playing and roaming. The pairing of Amar and Geeta is considered a superhit. Dr. Yogesh tells that Mailani was old, hence she was taken out a year ago. When tigers grow old, they often go and sit in the corner of the enclosure. In such a situation, if their health deteriorates, it becomes difficult to remove them and treat them. Malani was old, so she was shifted to the hospital in time. The zoo staff say that even though Malani is no more in this world, her memories are still present in the hearts of the entire zoo team.
