The love life of a panther in Delhi Zoo has been burn scant because he is a little too portly , grant to his keepers . On loan to the zoological garden from the Indian state of Kerala , theIndian Expressreports that he ’s being sent back because he ’s not “ fulfilling that intention ” of breeding with their distaff jaguar . “ He is lazy , a glutton , just loves to eat and loose , ” said one of the jaguar keeper .
The chubby cat , called Salman , is being give back after attempts to engender him with the resident female person for the last year have failed . “ The female is understand essay to lure him but he lie in a corner and refuses to answer , ” Delhi zoo curator Riaz Khan , tell The Indian Express . “ He is too fat to breed . ”
fit in to the menagerie , they feed all four of their jaguars 6 kilograms ( 13 pounds ) of buffalo essence a mean solar day , but Salman is the only one to polish it all off , with official bemoan that he has a bighearted appetite than even the tigers . Theyapparently triedputting him on a dieting once but to no avail , and so returned him back to his full - on suppers of buffalo .
When the dieting failed ( and I intend most of us can come to to that ) , they tried to give him a bigger enclosure in the hope he might scarper around a bit more , but even that did n’t work . “ He would stroll for a bit , then lie in a corner , ” pronounce his steward . All that ’s get out to do , then , is to send him back . Poor Salman .
But it might not be all Salman ’s fault , as apparently the two other manly Felis onca kept at the zoo have also failed to sire any cubs . Being locomote from one zoo to another can be a nerve-wracking trial by ordeal , and may just have put him off his A - game . Or perchance he ’s just carrying a little redundant fur .
He ’s not alone , however , in the terms of virile big cats not being able-bodied to do . Earlier this yr , there were reportsof a male white tiger in West Bengal who was also having problems getting on with it , despite having all the check pull out by being dewormed and given libido enhancers . Perhaps Salman will have more destiny with the ma’am when he ’s send back to his honest-to-god dwelling house .
