White tiger cubs born in Indore zoo

Indore: The Indore zoo saw the birth of two white tiger cubs on Wednesday. With only 34 white tigers left in the country, the birth of these cubs has ushered new hopes for the dwindling species.

A tigress named Sita that was brought from Aurangabad two years ago gave birth to the cubs. The doctor confirmed that the mother and the cubs are perfectly healthy.

A year ago, the tigress gave birth to three cubs, one of which recently died.

Out of the 34 white tigers in the country, 6 are in Indore and more than 10 in Bhubaneshwar's Nandan Kanan zoo.
