Mysore/Mysuru: In a significant boost to captive tiger breeding, Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, popular as Mysuru Zoo, has planned to utilise the male tiger that was captured from the fringes of Bandipur for breeding.
The tiger, named T-80 will be paired with Durgi. T-80 was captured in October 2019. It is a healthy male aged about five years. The big cat was captured at Chowdahalli. The feline was seen wandering in search of territory through several forest ranges and ended up in the buffer area of Gopalaswamy Betta Range in Bandipur.
