Zoo - Sitesh Ranjan Deb
Zoo - Sitesh Ranjan Deb is a small rescue center in Srimangal housing threatened animals and providing them shelter. The facility features various habitats for birds, mammals, and reptiles, with simple pathways and resting spots for visitors to explore.
The center began after Sitesh Ranjan Deb was severely injured by a bear in the 1970s and ended his career as a hunter. Since then, he has rescued and cared for injured and orphaned animals, transforming himself from hunter to protector of wildlife.
The zoo is named after Sitesh Ranjan Deb, a local wildlife rescuer whose work represents conservation efforts in the region. Visitors here encounter not just animals but also the stories of people dedicated to protecting them and sharing that commitment daily.
Visiting is straightforward with marked pathways and rest areas for breaks during your walk through the grounds. The best time to go is early morning or early evening when animals are more active and the light is pleasant for observing them.
The center houses Bangladesh's only white tiger, a large cat with rare coloring and color-changing eyes. This remarkable tiger is a key attraction and demonstrates the center's dedication to rescuing rare and endangered species.
