The West Bengal Zoo Authority, along with the state forest department, has come up with a face-saving report on the death of two tiger cubs at Bengal Safari Park at Siliguri by holding the mother of the two cubs responsible for their deaths.

As per the report, both the cubs, since their birth on July 12 this year, were suffering from some genetically borne ailments, which they inherited from their mother Kika, the only albino tigress at Bengal, Safari Park. The report further claims that Kika was negligent when taking care of her cubs, and that negligence coupled with genetically- borne ailments led to their deaths.

Confirming the report, the state forest minister Jyoti Priya Mullick said that that initial investigation has revealed that there were no lapses on part of the Bengal Safari Park authorities behind this
tragic development.
