WHAT IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS..

*Into its 50th year, the zoo, one of the

largest in the country, has got 31 adoptions of animals

with a commitment of Rs. 55 lakh since April 2013. *The major attraction within the zoo, however, is the

the gates of the safari — opening one gate at a time — into a

completely different world of wild animals where lions, tigers,

rhinos, wild oxen, panthers, etc.
