You'll might be wandering why there's a variation in structure and size of tigers of different parts of India despite being a Bengal Tiger.
Tigers of North east , central and terai region of India are the most overall solid tigers, they have massive heads with big necks, are long and tall, and are overall very muscular tigers, with some being larger than others. Kanha and Pench probably having the biggest ones in Central India.
These regions typically have an abundance of large prey, such as deer and wild boar. A plentiful food supply allows tigers to grow larger.The cooler climate of the Terai and northeastern regions compared to the hotter, more arid parts of India can lead to tigers developing bulkier bodies, as larger body size helps conserve heat.The dense forests and grasslands of these regions provide ample cover and hunting opportunities, supporting larger tiger populations with sufficient resources for growth.
In BBB Park, We have our very own Mallick, the bulky beast.

A mother leopard teaching her cub is a fascinating and heartwarming process, reflecting the intricate bond and the critical skills transfer necessary for the cub's survival in the wild. As the cubs grow, the mother encourages them to hunt independently, initially accompanying them and later allowing them to hunt on their own.Mothers teach cubs to recognize potential dangers, such as other predators, and how to respond to these threats. The process of a mother leopard teaching her cub is critical for the cub’s survival and development. It involves a combination of direct teaching, observation, imitation, and practice.

A melanistic leopard, commonly known as a black panther, is a leopard (Panthera pardus) with a genetic mutation that causes an excess of black pigment, known as melanin, in its fur. This results in a dark or completely black coat, although the typical rosette patterns characteristic of leopards are often still visible upon close inspection.

Barn Owls are often seen in barns and agricultural fields which provide them with ample hunting sites. During the day they find an enclosed area in an old building, hollow tree, or hole in a rocky cliff and sleep away the afternoon.
They do not create a nest; rather they deposit the eggs in manmade structures such as towers, barns, etc. - often using the site year after year.
Farmers and ranchers are increasingly attracted to the barn owl's ability to control rodent.
Barn owls are able to consume twice as much food as other owls in comparison to their weight.
Barn owls hunt at night, and although they have very good vision, they rely mostly on their sense of hearing. Owl ears are located one higher than the other, increasing sound reception. During flight, the left ear captures sounds below while the right ear focuses on sounds from above.

In addition, their face feathers create a disc, which works to trap and focus sound. Researchers found that in total blackness the barn owl is still able to find the smallest of prey because of their excellent hearing.
Owls’ eyes look forward in a fixed position and cannot move from side to side, as the human eye can. In order to see peripherally, the owl must turn its entire head.
Most owls have unique, comb like feathers that allow for silent flight. The leading edge is "fringed" so that the feathers, when moving, do not make noise when rubbing together.

Ostriches stay clean by bathing themselves in the sand but also enjoy taking water baths.They’ve also been spotted swimming in the ocean at Yzerfontein in South Africa. The Ostrich species is very territorial over its land and will claim their home. Also ostriches are sometimes spotted cooling off in rivers, pools, and lakes on exceptionally hot days.

African grey parrots are beautiful, majestic wild animals who lead complex, active social lives in their natural habitat. Because of their long lives, they often outlive their human owners, meaning that they may have to go through traumatic rehoming several times in their life. Sadly, up to 21% of the wild population of African grey parrots is poached every year to supply the illegal wildlife trade, for people to own them as “exotic pets”.These parrots are among the world’s most intelligent animals. Research has also found that they can identify, request, refuse, categorize, and quantify more than 80 different objects, and respond to questions of concerning concepts of colour and shape.

The growth in an ostrich chick is really fascinating.Proper nutrition, including access to a balanced diet with sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals, is crucial for the healthy growth of ostrich chicks. Environmental factors such as space for movement and protection from predators and extreme weather conditions also play significant roles in their development.
Glad to mention that with immense care and hospitality by the Zoo Keeper, biologists and Veterinarian Doctor, our ostrich chick is growing really fast.

WHY DOES A MALE GOLDEN PHEASANT COVER ITS FACE WITH A 'CAPE' ????

During courtship, the male golden pheasant dances around the females, making high- pitched chirping noises as he does so. As he runs around the females, he draws his beautiful golden neck and cheek feathers across his beak, almost like a cape while making a high-pitched metallic sound. Look how the deep orange "cape" can be spread in display, appearing as an alternating black and orange fan that covers all of the face except its bright yellow eye with a pinpoint black pupil.

The word Emu comes from an Arabic word meaning ‘large bird’, and large they most certainly are!
Emus are part of the family known as ratites, which includes flightless birds like ostriches, rheas, cassowaries, and kiwis. They are believed to be survivors of prehistoric times who have evolved from a common ancestor shared with other ratites, likely around 65 million years ago after the extinction of dinosaurs. Emus posseses powerful and scally legs for running, and reduced wings as they do not fly. These adaptations have allowed them to thrive in various habitats across Australia.
Notice the scales and segments on their feet which is a proof that they are the closest relatives of Reptiles on the evolutionary linkage.

Tigers exhibit the flehmen response to detect pheromones and other chemical signals in their environment, particularly from the scent marks of other tigers. This behaviour helps them gather information about potential mates, territory boundaries, and the presence of prey or competitors.

Deer mothers groom their fawns regularly, licking and cleaning them to keep them free from dirt and scent that could attract predators. They are protective of their fawns and will aggressively defend them against potential threats. Also they use their speed and agility to evade predators and lead their fawns to safety.
It's important for humans to avoid interfering with this natural process. Observing deer from a distance and minimizing disturbance helps ensure the well-being and survival of both the mother and her fawn.

The Indian wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Indian subcontinent. It is a medium-sized wolf, with a generally pale, reddish-brown fur coat. Indian wolves historically roamed across various habitats including grasslands, scrublands, and forests, and they are known for their adaptability to a range of environments.
