Dhaka Zoo
Dhaka Zoo is located in Mirpur area of Dhaka city. It was established in 1964, as a menagerie at the High Court Premises. In 1974 it has been moved to the present location under the supervision of Fisheries and Live stocks Department. It has an area of 186 acres including two lakes, which are the sanctuary of migratory birds in winter season.Though varieties of faunae are in Dhaka zoo, the present condition is not so optimistic. Many of them are suffering from malnutrition. In last few months, above 30 of precious animals died, including lion, tiger, zebra, giraffe and rhino. Negligence, inadequate care, inexperience and poor living condition may be the causes of deaths.
This is the national zoological garden of Bangladesh. About 2200 animals of 157 species are dwelled and about 10,000 people visited the zoo everyday, and the people enjoy very much. So the government should pay extra attention to run it appropriately.
