One of Most beautiful zoo of India. I visited here in 2017 & i can't forget the vibes i experienced. We reached here by walking & it was worth experience. The animals here are too active. There are many different types of animals which you won't find in other zoo. Red panda is found here.The Red Pandas (Ailurus fulgens), are very skillful and acrobatic animals that predominantly stay in trees. Almost 50 percent of the red panda’s habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. They use their long, bushy tails for balance and to cover themselves in winter, presumably for warmth. Primarily an herbivore, the name panda is said to come from the Nepali word ‘ponya,’ which means bamboo or plant eating animal. The species has been classified as endangered in the IUCN Red List. Presently Nainital Zoo has got six individuals.
Himalayan bear is also found here. This is the large forest dwelling bear of the Himalaya and also called the Moon Bear due to the crescent-shaped white mark on its glossy black chest. Its fur is much shorter than that of the other black bear of India. Longer hairs are present in the neck region, which are associated with the protection from the bites of predators like tigers. This bear hibernates in the upper Himalaya. It is fairly arboreal though it does not sleep on trees like the Sun Bear.
Tiger , birds & many more fascinating animals are found here. The zoo is located...
