The mammals of Jaipur Zoo are expected to be moved to a new home in March, according to reports. The zoo, which opened 1877 in Jaipur city in Rajasthan, India, will send a number of animal exhibits to a newly created 80-hectare area at the nearby Nahargarh Biological Park.
A past inspection by local authorities deemed the enclosures at Jaipur Zoo, which has more than 50 species, too old to host the animals. According to the
Times of India, that move is now imminent.
While mammals will be relocated to their new Nahargarh home about 4km away, birds and reptiles will remain at Jaipur Zoo.
