MYSURU: When two-day-old sloth bear cubs were abandoned by their mother in the thick forests of Nagarahole Tiger Reserve in mid-January, forest officials did not think that they could survive.
The cubs were just born, and their eyes were yet to open. With no other option, the cubs were shifted to Mysuru Zoo. Today, the cubs are hale and hearty, and crawling about with their eyes wide open, all thanks to the Mysuru Zoo authorities, who took care of the little ones and saved them.

He was speaking to reporters after visiting
Mysuru Zoo last evening where officials apprised him about the running of the Zoo and how cow slaughter ban had affected procurement of beef.
The Zoo is largely dependent on beef for feeding carnivores. With the ban, beef has been replaced with chicken and here too, there were difficult times due to the threat of Bird Flu. And the procurement of mutton is an expensive proposition.
