Wildlife conservation in recent times has gained much momentum with people from all strata of society joining hands for this vital cause. In yet another post, IFS officer Susanta Nanda shared about three Asiatic lion cubs on X (Formerly Twitter). Nanda is known for his avid documentation of wildlife wonders. What makes his new post unique and worthy is that these big cats have found a new life due to the efforts of forest officials at the Nandan Kanan Biological Park in Odisha.

“Welcome Amar, Akbar & Anthony. Seven year old Asiatic lion Rewa at Nandankanan Biological Park has given birth to three male cubs. As the mother abandoned them, they were stabilised in neonatal ICU & are being hand reared now,” reads the caption.

These cubs were given unique names, apart from forest staff taking care of their needs. As per the post, considering the situation, the forest staff swiftly intervened and transferred the vulnerable cubs to the neonatal Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where they could receive the specialised care needed during these critical early stages of life.

A while ago, the IFS Officer took to X to show a video featuring pseudo-melanistic tigers, a rare colour variant. The captivating clip showcased a complete pseudo-melanistic tiger family through the lens of a camera trap. In his tweet, Nanda expressed the awe-inspiring nature of the find, mentioning, “Nature never fails to surprise us. This is one of the rarest of the rare. A complete Pseudo-melanistic tiger family from the forests of Odisha.”

The use of camera traps, as demonstrated in this footage, plays a crucial role in monitoring and understanding wildlife populations and behaviours. Described by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as digital cameras linked to infrared sensors, these traps can detect moving objects, allowing researchers to collect essential data about wildlife, including habitat, population size and interspecies interactions.

As soon as the clip was shared, online users flooded the comments section with expressions of awe and appreciation. Remarks such as Wow, Nature’s Splendor, Majestic, Paradise flooded the comments section.
