Rohtak Zoo, Zoo in Rohtak, India.
Description
Rohtak Zoo covers about 44 acres with enclosures for tigers, leopards, foxes, hyenas, gharials, jackals, otters, baboons, and various deer species. The grounds also feature a natural lake and artificial waterfalls that create different environments for the animals.
History
The zoo was established in 1987 by the Haryana government by bringing together several small zoos scattered across the state. This consolidation followed a 2001 recommendation from the Wildlife Advisory Board to improve animal care standards.
Culture
The zoo serves as a place where visitors learn about Indian wildlife and conservation efforts through displays and programs. People of all ages come here to understand how different species live and why they need protection.
Practical
The site is about 42 kilometers from Delhi's border and opens daily from morning until late afternoon. Visitors should prepare for warm weather and take advantage of shaded areas and observation towers throughout the grounds.
Did you know?
The site connects directly with Tilyar Lake, which allows visitors to enjoy fishing and other water activities alongside the animal viewing experience. This combination makes the place more than just a zoo for the day.
