Rare blue-eyed white tiger Tejas travels 550 km to become Dehradun Zoo star

Dehradun Zoo just added a new attraction in the form of Tejas, a two-and-a-half-year-old white tiger. It gives wildlife enthusiasts another reason to visit the capital city. The little cub travelled nearly 550 km from Gwalior. He comes following an animal-exchange programme that saw the zoo’s approximately five-year-old Royal Bengal tiger, Bhola, move to Gwalior Zoological Park.For travellers planning a Dehradun visit, however, there is an important catch: Tejas will not be immediately visible to the public. After his journey of more than 14 hours, the young tiger has entered a period of quarantine and observation for about 20 days. So visitors will likely have to wait a month before he is put on display. During this period, his health, behaviour, feeding and adjustment to the new enclosure will be monitored.The blue-eyed Tejas As per reports, Tejas is particularly striking because of his white coat and dark stripes.
