Heat convectors keep tigers warm at Ludhiana Zoo

Ludhiana, Jan 13 (ANI): Tigers at the Tiger Safari Zoo in Ludhiana have been provided with blowers to keep them safe from the biting cold.

The measure was taken due to a tiger falling sick after being exposed to the chill.

Plastic sheets and straw mats have also been used to cover the cages to keep the tigers warm.

"It is very cold and we have provided the cages with blowers to protect them from the cold. We have also covered the cages with plastic sheets to keep the chill out," said Narendra Pal, Incharge, Tiger Safari Zoo, Ludhiana.

There are around 17 Bengal tigers and one white tiger in Punjab. (ANI)
