Zoo

The Zoos have a high status as the means of tourist attractions and recreational facilities. Some of the modern zoos also get engaged in captive breeding programmes, conservation study, and educational outreach.

Being a vast country with plenty of mammal and other fauna species, India is home to a large number of Zoos, spread all over the country. Some of the Zoos in India have earned recognition and reputation all over the world for their great collection of mammals, reptiles and birds. The main objective of the Zoos in India is to protect the animals in captivity and also to educate the common people about them.

Zoos in Rajkot are Aji Dam Zoo and Prdyuman Zoological Park. The Zoos feature quite an amazing range of flora and fauna. Lots of varieties of mammals, reptiles and avian species can be seen here. Though it is an artificial habitat, the animals here are provided with spacious enclosures and other arrangements necessary for their survival in a man-made environment. In Aji Dam Zoo, beautiful step garden, amusement park for children, bird aviary and Crocodile Park are there where the citizens can spend their leisure time.
