In this workweek ’s version of endearing and slimly frustrating word , a clean tiger in an Indian menagerie may be too shy to checkmate . Vishal , a 10 - class - old at Alipore Zoo in West Bengal , India , is continue to disregard the advances of the local tigress , to the dismay of zoo official .
BBC Newsreports that despite being dewormed and return libido enhancers and vitamins , there has been no noticeable increment in his libido for the last six months . Dayanarayan Banerjee , a veterinary consultant at the zoo , told BBC News that Vishal ’s “ shyness ” may be foreclose him from mating with the tigress Rupa who survive in the adjoiningenclosure . Experts suggest that as Vishal has been born into captivity , he lack tangle experience and simply does n’t understand the signal Rupa is sending him .
Rupa has made several betterment to Vishal , scratching his back and even chase him , but so far nothing has worked . Maybe all Vishal needs is some dim lights and Marvin Gaye ’s “ Let ’s Get It On ” playing in the backdrop .
Banerjee also advise that zoological garden officials may have miss their chance to mate Vishal with the tigress . He explain that most white tigers mate when they ’re between five and six years older , with some seven- to eight - year - old successfully spawn . It becomes a great deal more hard once the Panthera tigris is over 10 .
“ We choose Vishal because he is the youngest and physically the most well - built among the male tigers . But we can not understand what materialize to him when he sees Rupa . He prevail aside with his tail between his legs , ” Banerjee toldThe Times of India .
It ’s been several age since a tiger sonny boy was comport in the zoo and officials are eager to breed the World Tamil Movement they have in captivity . Though the zoo has successfully bred a number of animals , which includes giraffes and zebras , breeding tigers is turning out to be a lot more challenging than they ab initio anticipated .
For now , officials are considering whether another tigress called Rani will get Rupa ’s juices flowing . Rani is a Bengali tigress who be in an enclosure a chip further off from Vishal , so official are holding back until they can get approval to bring Rani and Vishal together . Will Vishal ever twin ? Is Rani the one ? And will Rupa get over this devastating rejection ? follow this space .
