Mysore/Mysuru: After successfully translocating over 52 spotted deer to the Arabithittu Reserve Forests and Wildlife Sanctuary in Hunsur, relocating more than 13 Indian Gaur to the Tyavarekoppa Tiger and Lion Safari in Shivamogga, and transferring giraffes to both the Bannerghatta Biological Park in Bengaluru and the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Zoological Park (Hampi Zoo), the Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo) has achieved another milestone. It has now translocated 40 spotted deer (Axis axis) to the Panasoli Range of the Kali Tiger Reserve in Dandeli, Uttara Kannada District. Earlier too, the Zoo translocated sambar deer to Dandeli Forests.
A press release issued by Zoo Director Mahesh Kumar said that the Mysuru Zoo accomplished this significant feat on Feb. 21, with the successful translocation of the 40 Spotted Deer to the Kali Tiger Reserve. The operation was executed flawlessly, and all animals arrived at their destination on the morning of Feb. 21 with no reported mortality.
