Mysore Zoo, Zoo in Mysore, India
The Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens extends across 157 acres of land, housing more than 150 species of animals and birds in naturalistic enclosures.
The zoo began in 1892 as a private menagerie of Chamaraja Wadiyar X, the twenty-third Maharaja of Mysore, initially occupying 10 acres near the Summer Palace.
The facility operates educational programs that teach visitors about Indian wildlife conservation methods while highlighting the connection between nature and local traditions.
The zoo welcomes visitors from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM every day except Tuesday, with separate entrance fees for adults, children, and camera equipment.
This institution maintains all three rhinoceros species - white, black, and Indian - making it a notable center for rhinoceros conservation in Asia.
