ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) on Tuesday rescued another seven-month-old black bear cub.
Even though the cub, named Baloo, is in good health, two of its incisors are broken. On Tuesday, the IWMB vet removed a metal ring from the cub’s nose and checked its health. Since the Islamabad Zoo was closed, the cub was being kept in a secret location, IWMB chairperson Rina Saeed Khan told Dawn.
The cub was rescued from Gujranwala after the IWMB came across a viral video of it performing in the streets. Punjab Wildlife department was asked to assist in rescuing Baloo, named after the grey bear in the animated film, Jungle Book.
