New Delhi: After a long wait, a 20-something female hoolock gibbon in Delhi zoo has finally got a mate in five-year-old ‘Cute’, which arrived here from Itanagar a fortnight ago. Rescued from Lower Dibang Valley district in the Northeast region two years back, Cute will help authorities undertake the species’ breeding conservation programme. ‘‘Delhi’s lone female hoolock gibbon was without a mate and Cute’s arrival is the outcome of intensive efforts by authorities,’’ says Delhi zoo director Anand Krishna.
