Kanpur Zoological Park
Kanpur Zoological Park,
Kanpur is one of the oldest Zoological Park of india. It has been
established and opened for the public on 4th february, 1974.
The area of the Zoological Park is
about 76.56 ha. It is established in a manmade forest. The 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.
