The Sepahijala Zoo and Wildlife Sanctuary in Tripura saw the birth of three tiger cubs. This landmark moment marks the first time in 53 years since an event like this has occurred.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha wrote in a post on X, “Exciting news… future kings and queens of the forest arrive in Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary. A tigress in Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary has given birth to three adorable cubs. Let’s give a warm welcome to these little bundles of joy and wish them a safe and thriving life in the wild.” On a visit to the zoo, Animesh Debbarma, Tripura’s forest minister welcomed the cubs and reviewed their condition. The male tigers have been relocated to separate enclosures, as part of precautionary measures.
