Wildlife enthusiasts are in for a treat as Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP)—which recently obtained a pair of lions—is now home to a male and female tiger from Nagpur’s Gorewada Zoo. Thanks to the newly inaugurated Nagpur-Shirdi stretch of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway, SGNP authorities saved over 16 hours while bringing the big cats to the city.
Dr Clement Ben, additional principal chief conservator of forests (APCCF), Western Wildlife Region, Mumbai, and SGNP Director G Mallikarjun played a crucial role in obtaining the pair, which is capable of breeding, as they have been consistently following up on the same with the Nagpur PCCF’s office and Gorewada Zoo authorities. Superintendent of Tiger and Lion Safaris and Range Forest Officer (RFO) Vijay Barabde along with his team also went to Nagpur to bring the tigers.
