The joy of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) staff, after four tiger cubs were born in captivity at the protected area on March 25, has been snuffed out as three have died of health complications and one is critical. The delivery of the cubs marked the first time in 13 years that the park witnessed the arrival of newborns of the species.
Range Forest Officer (RFO) Vijay Barabde, superintendent of SGNP’s tiger and lion safari, said, “On March 25, one cub died of lung-related complications. Another cub, which also had developed health complications, died on March 30.”
