Indian wolf gives birth to seven pups at Pilikula Biological Park in Mangaluru

Mangaluru: An Indian wolf named Geeta at Pilikula Biological Park gave birth to seven pups —four males and three females. 

The park has been housing Indian wolves for the past three years, and this marks the first successful breeding of the species at the facility.

Pilikula Development Authority in charge Commissioner Dr Arun Kumar Shetty described the development as a major achievement in the zoo’s conservation and captive breeding efforts.

The  mother and all seven pups are healthy and thriving. They are being closely monitored by veterinarians and animal caretakers to ensure their well-being.

The pups have now grown active and are seen moving around. They have also been opened for public viewing, offering visitors a chance to observe the rare species from close.
