New Delhi:
A white tigress has given birth to three healthy cubs at the Delhi zoo, officials said today.
Born on August 24, the cubs will remain in quarantine with their mother, seven-year-old Sita, for a month. Vijay, a seven-year-old white tiger, is their father.
The zoo has two pairs of white tigers and four Bengal tigers -- one male and three females -- at present. In December 2020, a white tigress and her three cubs had died due to birth-related complications.
Normally, a white tiger has a lifespan of 12 to 14 years in the wild.
