Born to Tigress Rani on 25 April 2025, this litter is extra special — three playful boys and two golden girls now call the Karal Enclosure their jungle gym.
It is rare as one of the males is a white tiger, while the rest are golden-coated beauties. It's a furball festival of colours and cuteness.
This is a first in India! Never before has a tigress given birth to five cubs at once. “It’s a milestone moment in wildlife conservation,” Dr Arvind Mathur told NDTV.
Now over two months old, the cubs are waddling behind Rani, learning to chase leaves, pounce clumsily, and find their wild feet in the world.
Visitors lucky enough to spot them in the Karal Natural Enclosure are treated to zoomies, tumbles, and the occasional grumpy growl over nap time.
The park staff is keeping a close watch, making sure the little ones stay safe, well-fed, and gradually learn the wild way under mom’s watchful eye.
From baby steps to bold leaps, these cubs are growing up fast. And with each day, they’re bringing a little more roar to Rajasthan’s forests.
