A wave of happiness spread with the arrival of the little guest in Birsa Biological Park of Ranchi.


Birsa Biological Park, located amidst the natural beauty of Jharkhand’s capital Ranchi and its surroundings, has always been a major center of attraction for tourists. This zoo located in Ormanjhi continuously makes best efforts for the care and conservation of wildlife. Recently, a very pleasant and encouraging news has come out from this park, which has brought a smile on the faces of wildlife lovers. A baby hippo has been born in Birsa Biological Park, which is creating an atmosphere of happiness among the officials and employees of the park. Since birth, this little guest has been attracting everyone’s attention with his antics and the moments he spends with his mother. This new born baby is being given special care by the park administration and veterinarians are constantly keeping a close eye on its health.

When a new cub is born in any wildlife park, its initial care is considered very challenging and sensitive. Giving information, officials of Birsa Biological Park said that the female hippopotamus has given birth to a healthy baby and both mother and baby are completely healthy and active since birth. The park’s team of experienced veterinarians and keepers are constantly monitoring them. The food habits of the little cub, his mother’s milk-feeding habits and the temperature of his enclosure have been kept absolutely suitable so that he does not have to face any kind of discomfort. Keeping in mind the safety of tourists and the extremely protective nature of the mother, the family has been kept in a special enclosure for a few weeks, where arrangements are being made for visitors to see them from a safe distance.

After the birth of this little cub, the family of hippopotamus has increased in Birsa Biological Park. According to the official data of the park, with the addition of this new guest, the total number of hippos in Ormanjhi Zoo has now increased to four. Earlier, one male and two female hippos were present in the park, which were being looked after in a very scientific and natural environment. The zoo management says that whenever a cub is born within the natural habitat of the park, it is a proof that the environment and food provided to the wildlife there is completely suitable for their reproductive capacity. After a few weeks, when this baby hippopotamus will be released in the open enclosure for common tourists to see, it is going to become the main center of attraction for the tourists coming to Ranchi, especially children.

Birsa Biological Park is a major and very popular conservation center of Jharkhand state, where all the wildlife coming from India and abroad are provided facilities like their natural habitat. Here, not only entertainment but also special scientific attention is given to the conservation and breeding of endangered animals. This increase in the number of aquatic animals like tigers, leopards, lions, bears and now hippos from time to time proves that this park of Jharkhand is continuously proving milestones in the direction of wildlife conservation. The director and staff of the park believe that such good news not only increases the popularity of the zoo but also awakens love and sensitivity towards nature and animals among the general public and especially the young generation. If you are also planning to visit Ranchi this weekend, then do not miss the golden opportunity to go to Birsa Biological Park and get a glimpse of this tiny and very cute hippopotamus.
