Advisor to Prime Minister on Climate Change, Malik Ameen Aslam, has announced that the Lahore Zoo will receive 8 lions and 10 tigers next week as a gift from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The advisor made this announcement in a press briefing while saying that the big cats are a gift from UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
A press release by the Ministry of Climate Change has revealed that the Lahore Zoo had recently learned that the Al Nakhi Wildlife Center of Dubai has been keeping more than 400 felines. It requested the UAE PM to donate a few to Pakistan.
According to the press release, now that the correspondence with the said facility and all the legal requirements have been completed, Lahore Zoo is going to receive the gift.

Authorities have examined the microchipped lions and tigers in detail and screened them for different diseases by veterinarians in Dubai. They have been deemed fit for transportation to Pakistan.
The 18 animals include three male and one female white tigers, four male and two female Bengal tigers, and four pairs of African lions. All these animals are aged between one to five years.
Due to inbreeding in big cats in Punjab, the chances of stillbirths, low immunity, genetic disorders, and other problems have increased among the department’s big cats.
The gift animals are expected to reduce the chances of said conditions. “This gift of big cats will prove a corridor to exchange different species of zoo animals and birds between zoos of Pakistan and Dubai,” says the press release.
