BHUBANESWAR, JAN 7: Embittered over a series of mishaps including the death of 13 royal Bengal tigers, the Nandan Kanan biological park near here has something to cheer about.

A Pangolin couple in the zoo gave birth to a baby in their cage this morning, according to park sources.

The zoo had two Pangolins, one male and the other female, before the new arrival.

Though Pangolins, said to be a threatened species, had bred in the zoo twice before, the babies did not survive, the sources said.
