Tigress Megha is moving inside low second boundary at Nandankanan zoo (Literary means:The Garden of Heavens’). The tigress comes out of the cage while food is given to her. Panic gripped in the entire Nandankanan zoo arena. The tigress (royal Bengal tiger race) came out of the enclosure while being fed.

How the tigress came out of the enclosure?

Whether all safety measures are put in place before serving food?

The big cats should be completely locked before the meat is caged in the adjoining cage. Earlier in one more incident, a tiger caught caretaker by his neck as he entered the enclosure to feed the animal. The care taker died later.

In this case Megha is not an adult tigress. She is one and eight months old. She was not an attacking mood. As she came out of the enclosure and reached lower boundary, closure to tourists. Tigress Megha did not hurt any one but panic gripped among the tourists. Apprehending danger the Nandankanan zoo staffs asked the visitors present there to “Go away, go away!” The tiger can attack.

They are prepared with the tranquilizer gun to take the tigress. One tourist saw the tigress jumped the first enclosure and reaches the second enclosure, he felt like so near yet so far. The tigress could have jumped easily to tourists. There are thirty to forty tourists in the vicinity. Later on, situation controlled and calmed down, tigress Megha sent to her den and the peace prevailed but the ghosts of fears still lurking around Nandankanan zoo making and marking the presence of Rebbecca!
