Durg. Rare wild animal Kabar badger has been rescued in Bhilai of Durg district. People informed the forest department about this. After a lot of hard work, the forest department team caught a female Kabar badger with 4 children. After this he was released in Maitri Bagh Zoo. According to the information, on Saturday, a young man saw a strange animal with children near the CISF wall near Manoj grocery shop in Utai, Bhilai. He informed this to some people. When people saw that it was a badger, they informed the forest department. As soon as the information was received, the forest staff reached the spot on Saturday afternoon to arrest him. As soon as the forest workers tried to catch it, the female Kabar badger ran away leaving her children there. Forest workers rescued and caught his four children.
After this, the forest department team kept waiting for the arrival of the female Kabar badger. After a long time, the female Kabar badger reached the same place again and started searching for her children. After this, the forest personnel also caught him through a pre-prepared trap. After its capture, the team reached Maitri Bagh and handed over the mother and four children to the zoo management. This is not the first time that the rescue of Kabar badger has been done in Bhilai. Even six months ago, a crow badger was seen inside the closed JP Cement plant in the township. After this, Snake Catcher Raja was called and it was rescued. After a lot of effort, the king caught the badger and took him to Maitri Bagh and handed him over to the zoo management.
The grave badger is a very lazy animal. It digs the grave and enters inside it and then eats the buried dead bodies. Being lazy, it moves very slowly. The cat-sized crow badger is also known as the Asian palm civet. Kabar badger is omnivorous. Its main food is fruits, tubers as well as small insects. The grave badger eats rotten meat. It is not poisonous, but if it bites a person, it causes infection. There is severe itching and rotting starts in that area, hence one should maintain distance from this animal. At present, Kabar badger has been taken to Maitri Bagh Zoo. After the advice of doctors and forest department, BSP management will prepare a separate cage for this. It will be kept in a cage so that tourists coming to the zoo can see it.
