20 Aug
Summary
- Two lion cubs, Simba and Soori, survived after being rejected by their mother.
- Zoo officials provided round-the-clock care, special milk, and medical attention.
- The cubs have now successfully transitioned to their public enclosure for viewing.
Thiruvananthapuram Zoo is celebrating the successful integration of two lion cubs, Simba and Soori, into their public enclosure. These cubs, born on January 21, faced an early challenge when their mother, Nyla, rejected them shortly after birth. This situation necessitated immediate and intensive intervention from the zoo's dedicated staff.
Zoo officials took over the cubs' care, providing round-the-clock fostering. This involved preparing specialized milk formulas and ensuring frequent feeding schedules. Complementary medical attention was also a crucial part of their recovery. Thanks to these extensive efforts over several months, Simba and Soori have grown healthy and robust.
The culmination of this dedicated care was marked by the official opening of their enclosure by Kerala Minister O J Janeesh. This event grants the public their first opportunity to witness the "miracle lion cubs" firsthand, with their debut timed perfectly for the Onam festival.
