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.

ISLAMABAD: In the last two weeks, the Punjab Wildlife Department has confiscated and released around 1,300 to 1,500 wild sparrows, myna, and baya weavers that were allegedly being sold illegally on the streets.
“The number of illegal bird sellers in the streets of the twin cities has increased to the extent that we have been ordered by the Prime Minister’s House to look into the problem,” said District Wildlife Officer Rizwana Aziz.
The crackdown on illegal bird sellers started two weeks ago and it has been on the top of the agenda of the wildlife department, more than any other concern at the moment.
