Zebras Released at Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad

The three zebras, which were brought to the Hyderabad Zoo last week from the Radha Krishna Trust in Jamnagar, Gujarat, were released into their enclosures on Monday. The occasion also coincided with World Wildlife Week and the 62nd Zoo Day celebrations.

The zebras were part of an animal exchange programme, with the Hyderabad Zoo offering 10 pairs of mouse deer in return for the



zebras.

During the event, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Dr. C Suvarna, inaugurated a newly constructed Simba canteen near the railway station and a bear night house at the zoo.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Suvarna highlighted that Nehru Zoological Park is one of the oldest zoos in India, known for its exceptional enclosures for animals. She also noted that the zoo attracts more than 25 lakh visitors each year.
