Celebrate Visit the Zoo Day With Me

Today is viewed as Visit The Zoo Day (December 27th). Zoos around us are involved as they became a sanctuary or rehabilitation centre for animals, reptiles and birds. Moreover, you can contact Zoo authorities (government) if you come across any endangered species (which may be injured).

Indian local guide badge given by @NareshDarji took in front of Thiruvananthapuram Zoo entrance.

The battery car facility is one of the great things I found useful in the zoo for the elderly. And the people that drive them know lot of details about each animal in this zoo. And the ticket rates are very low , atleast for the Indians.

It’s an amazing way to highlight the various zoos located throughout our country @Rahul001
I have been to zoos located in Hyderabad, Shimla, Nainital, Lucknow and Delhi, though a long time ago. I will certainly try to visit the Delhi Zoo on this special day today, though it’s raining today so chances of a visit are not looking good.

Nevertheless, I have some great memories visiting zoos in different countries. One of my favorites is the Bronx zoo . These are 2 photos I had from there…

A very well-presented post, dear @Rahul001
‘Visit Zoo Day’ is known to me, but I did not remember that it is 27th Dec.
Well, your photos are also good.

I am adding a photo from Bannerghatta Biological Park, Bangalore, for your companionship:


And regarding accessibility, yes, the Zoo is fully accessible.

What do you think of this photo dear friends @Shaunak @Gouri_S_Prakash @SSiddharth2000 @indahnuria

Thank you so tagging me @TravellerG this photo is literally amazing. Capturing photos from outside the cage is bit challenging as many times the focus doesn’t adjust properly but this picture is fabulous.
