Currently, there are 11 ostriches at the zoological park.
Through scientific management, these ostriches are being regularly bred in the zoo. According to a press release, seven ostrich chicks have recently hatched in the facility.
Similarly, one of the wolves in the zoo gave birth to seven pups. Last year too, five pups were born at the zoo, bringing the total count of young wolves bred in captivity up to 12 in two years.
All the young creatures are being closely monitored through CCTV cameras. The ostrich chicks are being fed special food prepared to ensure they are well-nourished. After closely monitoring them for three months, the young ones will be put on display.
