Delhi Zoo Is Throwing A Birthday Party
The Delhi Zoological Park is all set to celebrate the first birthday of Avni and Vyom. Avni and Vyom are the two white cubs in the zoo who have turned one, which obviously calls for celebrations!
As a part of the celebrations, the two cute white tiger cubs will be given a special meal that will include various types of red meat. A ceremonial cake cutting will also take place with Delhi Zoo Director Akanksha Mahajan. She will be cutting the cake in front of the animal enclosure.
The enclosure for the white tiger will also be decorated. There will be cutouts of the two white cubs, and that will be the selfie point. They may also arrange some play activities, like hide and seek, for them. In this, they will be hiding some objects and asking them to find or pull them out.
