State Govt’s Bengal Safari Park welcomes bears
The Bengal Safari Park on the outskirts of Siliguri has now become home to a pair of two Asiatic Himalayan black bears, named Jennifer and Dhruv.
The bears were brought from Darjeeling. One of them is eight years old while the other is 17.
At present, both the bears are caged. Their diet has been enriched with the necessary nutrients and many fans have also been installed to ensure that their surroundings maintain a cool room temperature.
It is being expected that the bear safari would commence at the park from this year itself. The bears will be released into the forests after caring for them in the cage for a few days.
