Bengal Slow Loris

Get ready for a wild and mysterious adventure into the world of the Bengal slow loris! These small, tree-dwelling primates are the kings and queens of the night, ruling the darkness with their nimble movements. But here’s the twist: they’re not just your ordinary critters. Oh no! The Bengal slow loris is one of the rare venomous mammals on this planet!

Under the moonlit sky, these fascinating creatures feast on a gourmet menu of fruits, insects, and the oozing sap from trees. Talk about a diverse palate! But that’s not all. These little marvels call the vibrant lands of Southeast Asia their home, serving as guardians of the lush forests. They are the ultimate forest health detectives, for they can only survive in evergreen or semi-evergreen forests that are bursting with life.

Now, let’s unveil the incredible tales of the two Bengal slow lorises residing in the enchanting AWA sanctuary. These brave souls were rescued from the clutches of the illegal wildlife trade—a treacherous underworld that snatches innocent animals from their natural habitats. Why? To supply the insatiable demand for exotic pets or the sinister meat trades. It’s a battle against those who seek to exploit the wonders of nature for their own gain.

But here’s a sad truth: slow lorises face a grave danger. Some misguided souls believe that consuming their charred bodies possesses magical healing properties. Yikes! Little do they know that indulging in such wild meat can unleash a wave of diseases. It’s a cautionary tale of ignorance and the importance of protecting these precious creatures.

So join us on this thrilling journey, as we learn about the hidden world of the Bengal slow loris, the guardians of the night, the defenders of the forests. Together, we’ll celebrate their uniqueness, spread awareness, and fight to keep them safe from the clutches of the illegal wildlife trade. Adventure awaits!

Indra

Indra

Once upon a wild and adventurous time, a tiny tiger cub named Indra burst into the world at AWA on the magical date of November 11, 2022. Weighing a mere 1.25 kg, he was a bundle of fur and cuteness!

However, his mother, Venus, encountered a little challenge—her milk supply was not enough to satisfy Indra’s hungry tummy. But fear not, for the heroic keeper stepped in like a guardian angel, armed with milk formula and supplements to ensure Indra’s growth and well-being. With the keeper’s loving care and Venus’ watchful eyes, this little tiger cub’s journey in the wild began with a roar!

Oh, the incredible adventures of Indra continue! With each passing day, this little tiger cub grew bigger and bolder. His eyes fluttered open, revealing a world of wonders just waiting to be explored. And explore he did! Indra ran and played with boundless energy, his tiny paws dancing on the ground.

Just months later, Indra had transformed into a magnificent 3.25 kg bundle of fur and mischief. But that was just the beginning! By the end of his second month, his weight had doubled, and oh boy, he had a glorious set of pointy teeth to show off. This feisty feline was ready to take on the world!

But let’s not forget about his loving mother, Venus. She was the epitome of patience as Indra bounced around, pouncing on her head and chasing her tail. Venus, a true queen, embraced her role as a playful companion and nurturer.

As Indra approached his third month, it was time for a big change. The keeper initiated the weaning process, slowly reducing Indra’s milk intake while introducing meat into his diet. It was a transitional period, teaching Indra to rely less on milk and more on his carnivorous instincts.

Ah, but Indra had his mischievous quirks! He became a picky eater, showing a particular fondness for beef. However, his mischievous spirit often lured him away from his meals, as he preferred the thrill of playtime over the satisfaction of a full belly.

Now, Indra was ready to leave the cozy confines of his home and venture into the grand enclosure. It was time to join his majestic mother, Venus, in the vast wilderness that awaited them. Co-parenting a tiger was no easy task, but thanks to the unwavering dedication of the keepers and the incredible patience of Venus, this remarkable journey had become a reality.

Indra’s story continues to unfold, filled with endless play, wild adventures, and the unconditional love of his tiger family. Who knows what thrilling escapades lie in store for this fearless cub? Only time will tell!
