Aurangabad: A pair of tigers will be shifted from Aurangabad to Mumbai's Byculla Zoo on Tuesday, an official said. The pair of felines, named Shakti and Karishma, are currently lodged at Siddharth Garden and Zoo in Maharashtra's Aurangabad city, its superintendent BS Naikwade told PTI.

"They will get a new home in Veer Mata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan And Zoo (popularly known as Byculla Zoo) in Mumbai in exchange of four spotted deers," he said. Tiger Shakti was born in November 2016 while tigress Karishma was born in July 2014, he informed. The Siddharth Zoo has 13 tigers, whereas the Central Authority has permitted only nine striped animals to be kept at the facility.
