Under the leadership of Regional Forest Officer Piyush Mohan Srivastava from Lucknow, Dr. Ashok Kashyap, Balram, Matin, Arif, Mahesh Kumar Verma, Kuber, Kundan went to the Nagaland Zoological Park on March 10 to bring these animals. The team returned with the wild animals on March 16.
At present, the new members of the Zoo family have been kept in special care. Visitors will be able to see these animals at the zoo after the completion of the 15-day quarantine period. In return for these new animals, the Lucknow Zoo has sent one pair of hog deers and two pairs of gharials (fish-eating crocodiles) to Nagaland as a part of this exchange programme.
Revival of leopard enclosure
After the death of the last big cat due to kidney failure in 2015, this is the first time that the Lucknow zoo has received new leopard cats in seven years. Slow Loris, the nocturnal strepsirrhine primates were present in the zoo till 2005. Notably, the leopard cats are small wild cats that are native to the continental South, Southeast, and East Asia. The Himalayan bear is found in Nepal, Tibet, West China, North Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
