There is a baby boom at Pilikula Biological Park in Mangaluru with many species of animals under captivity giving birth to young ones during the past one month.
Wild dog (Cuon alpinus), Mouse Deer (Tragulus javanicus), Golden Jackal (Canis aureus) and Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), which have been listed as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are among the 14 species of animals and birds that gave birth (or laid eggs) to offsprings at the park, which has been recognized as a major zoo by the Central Zoo Authority.
