Amid the stress and fear, the news of a tigress giving birth to a cub is winning the hearts of people. The positive news was shared by an Indian Forest Officer on his official Twitter account, bringing in light during these dark times. 

Hopeful news 

Parveen Kaswan, an Indian Forest Officer, on March 31 tweeted the news of a tigress giving birth in Sariska Reserve, in an attempt to share positive news amid coronavirus. The picture that he tweeted was of Tigress ST-10, who could be spotted drinking water in Sariska, as her cub playfully climbs on her back. The news of the newborn came around as positive and special because Sariska had earlier lost all the tiger inmates, according to the IFS Officer. The birth of the cub comes around as a hopeful growth in the number of tigers in the reserve.
