SGNP started its captive tiger and lion safari in the 1990s and it has been hugely popular since then. However, with some of the animals dying of old age or illnesses, authorities are worried about the future of the programme.
There are four tigresses and two male tigers, including one aged 11 months that came in November, in the park. The other tiger, Sultan, was brought to SGNP exactly a year ago for breeding with the help of Bijlee, 9, Mastani, 9, Basanti, 18, and Laxmi, 10.
However, SGNP officials said, the tigresses are very dominant and they haven't let Sultan get close to them. Authorities hope the presence of another male tiger will change the dynamics and kick-start their breeding efforts.
