Bahawalpur Zoo is welcoming a wave of happiness after the recent births of several healthy cubs and a baby monkey.
The queen tiger, Bubbli, gave birth to four healthy cubs, named Rosie, Maxi, Jenny, and Bubbli.
Meanwhile, the female monkey baboon gave birth to a baby named Chintu, marking the first time in the history of the zoo that a baboon has given birth.
According to Dr Tariq, the zoo's curator, the four tiger cubs are healthy and beautiful, and have been kept in a special cage. The zoo administration claims that all the new arrivals are in good condition and their dietary needs are being met.
Bahawalpur Zoo now has more tigers than any other zoo in Pakistan, making it the country's largest facility for tiger breeding.
The new arrivals have attracted many visitors, especially during the Eid festivities.
Children who came to the zoo to see the new animals expressed their happiness and joy.
Visitors Ishaal, Hamdan, Azlan Furqan, and Zain said that going to the zoo has made their Eid celebration twice as enjoyable.
