Navratri fast is about to start. Many people observe this fast in India. Wish for happiness and prosperity. But today we are going to tell you a unique news. Can you imagine that even a tiger should fast? You were shocked, weren’t you? But this is true. There is a zoo in the world where tigers fast for one day a week. Do not eat even a single piece of meat. The reason behind this is not financial constraints, there is something else.
Tigers are known to eat non-vegetarian food. But in the zoo, tigers are not given meat for a day. According to BBC report, this is done in the Central Zoo of Nepal. Tigers are deliberately kept hungry for a day. Zoo’s Information Officer Ganesh Koirala had told a few days ago that these carnivorous creatures are kept on ‘fast’ every Saturday to improve their health.
Fast to avoid being overweight
Koirala said, the tigers neither have any problem in getting food nor any problem in living in the zoo. But there is a reason behind keeping them hungry. We keep them on fast to prevent them from becoming overweight. Usually, the female tiger is given 5 kg of buffalo meat and the male tiger is given 6 kg of buffalo meat every day, but nothing is given to them on Saturday. By doing this their digestive system becomes stronger.
When tigers get fat…
According to experts, when tigers become fat, all kinds of problems related to their health start. A layer of fat starts accumulating under their stomach. They get tired while running. Can’t hunt. It is easy to control them with medicine, but this is not a good method. Keeping them on fast improves their health. If carnivorous animals do not eat food even for a day, their health improves significantly.
