In spite the fact that we hate seeing animals in restricted zone. Zoological and Botanical garden is a department in University of Nigeria which has the authority to keep animals for educational purposes. Zoology and Botanical garden
Last two years, I was able to visit this place and look at what I found.
The place is now a shadow of itself. As far as we want to see animals in its natural habitat, here this animals are not properly taken care of.
@Chiazodo and I wanted to see the giant python but the Zoo guard told us the Python is an animal that determines the time it wants to be seen. Mr Okonkwo wanted to see it, I actually hate snakes. The Lion and Tiger has been moved.
All in all it was an amazing experience. Though I have seen most of these animals before.
@Austinelewex @ i must commend your courage visiting the local zoological garden. Dating back from high school and when we visited chino’s family garden , you were scared of coming close to the alligator…well let me blame it on age and maturity guess you were still young then . Nice one i must say; but wanted to ask why are the crocks looking so pale and white
Nice experience @Austinelewex , so this two ugly animals are left remaining in the zoo?. That locality is my home town and I hate to see the zoo in that deplorable condition. I wish the University can do something about putting animals there.
The water there is stagnant. It is like a swamp or a lake, the Zoo keeper only chances the water from time to time.
You should know it is not actually their natural habitat.
I approached to snap this crocodiles because I believe they are unable to harm me @JoegatesChidi , back then at chino’s place that was an alligator which is kept as pet. I can’t try that dude.
@Austinelewex I was really disappointed when the Zoo guide said we couldn’t see the python. I haven’t seen one before and that would have been the big opportunity. You remember the chimpanzee? That was the only fascinating sighting for me . Hopefully the zoo will be revitalized.
I cannot remember the exact year when I visited the zoo for the last time! @Austinelewex I do not like to see the animals in the cage and it is a reason for my not going to the zoo frequently. Anyway, your photos of zoo animals are great. I love the second one, white crocodiles. Are they really white?
Téh Nyai. It is used mainly by the school department for effective learning for zoological students and Botanical students as well as a Zoo for individuals who may wish to have a look. @Nyainurjanah
Before if you come here, like in 2012 I went many come with all kind of foods which they give this animals etc.
Those days I guess they were actually happy they were being celebrated.
