Escaped
white tigress brought back to Aurangabad zoo Aurangabad:
The white tigress, which had escaped from its cage during the early Friday morning,
has been recaptured after a three-hour long operation. The 18-acre zoo in the
Siddharth Garden of Aurangabad is always choc-a-block with people. However, since
it was early in the morning when Rani (tigress's name) broke the cage, a big tragedy
was averted from taking place. Rani was corralled and brought back to the cage
after a three-hour joint operation by the zoo, municipal and forest departments.
The lioness went prowling on the ground early in the morning about 6 'o clock
after a rain-soaked wall of its enclosure caved in due to continuous drizzle for
the past three days. "The guy who exchanged duty with me in the morning came running
and told me that the white tigress has broke out from the enclosure. I went running
to the enclosure and saw the entire wall had caved in. Then I checked the enclosure
next to it where there were three cubs and one of them about to escape from the
opening caused by the caved in wall. I shifted the cubs to another cage then chased
the white tigress," said Abdul Rahim, keeper of the white tigress. The administration
has ordered an investigation into the whole episode. -July
