So as per the reply, the Tiger house is in the finishing stage and once the CZA gives its nod for the transfer of the Tigers they will be shifted to Kittur Rani Chennamma Nisargadhama at Bhutramanhatti on NH4 near Belagavi.
At present, the Zoo falls in ‘Mini Zoo’ Category as per the classification of Zoos by the Central Zoo Authority.
The Mini zoo is spread over 34 hectares the mini Zoo was started in 1989.
With the zoos being the best places to impart values on biodiversity and motivate visitors for its conservation, they can as well sensitize visitors on endangered species, in-situ and ex-situ conservation, and many other issues.
Feed the animals good and keep them healthy I anyone later finds the animals are not taken care then taken action against the authority i.e., fire them will can appoint new then they will come to their sense from their .Please for GOD sake don’t cage the poor speechless animals they too have lives and their own space .We can have a safari for them too they are where they find their independence
