has been established and opened for the public on 4th february, 1974. The area of

terrain of the park is undulating and resembles a high forest. It is one of those
Zoological Park which have been built on modern Zoo building principles. The animals
inhabited in the Zoological Park have been put in open and moated enclosures. The
moated enclosures give the animal ample space for movement and help in expressing
their biological and physiological expressions. The enclosures are screened by terrain
in such a way that one enclosure is not visible from the other. Thus the animals
inhabiting the enclosures do not feel undue psychological pressure of the animals
of adjoining enclosures.
