In a major boost to tiger conservation at Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Tigress 'Zinnat', who was relocated from Maharashtra's Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in November 2024, has given birth to four cubs. Camera traps captured the tigress with her 21-day-old cubs on May 28. Forest officials have intensified patrolling to ensure the safety of the mother and her healthy cubs. Chief Minister Mohan Majhi hailed this as a glorious chapter in Odisha's wildlife conservation history, noting that this successful breeding helps address genetic issues among the melanistic tiger population in Similipal. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/big-success-for-similipal-tiger-conservation-mission-tigress-zeenat-gives-birth-to-four-cubs-in-similipal-11901452 #creator program
