Itanagar: Two Royal Bengal tigers, rescued from a village nine months ago, have been safely shifted from the zoo at Roing in Lower Dibang Valley district to the Biological Park here.
A team of International Fund for Animal Welfare and Wildlife Trust of India (IFAW- WTI) assisted the Arunachal Pradesh Forest department and National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) to safely shift the wild cats on September 28, WTI said in a press release here on Tuesday.
The tigers were rescued as young cubs from the Angrim village in Dibang Wildlife Sanctuary in December last year and kept and nurtured at the Roing zoo. The shift to the Biological Park was made to accommodate the tigers in a more spacious enclosure till they could be moved to the wild, the release said. (PTI)
