Assam State Zoo cum Botanical Garden, Zoo and botanical garden in Guwahati, India.
The facility extends across 175 hectares within the Hengerabari Reserve Forest, displaying native and international wildlife in naturalistic enclosures with dense vegetation.
The establishment of the zoo began in 1957 during the Indian National Congress convention, where a wildlife exhibition featuring a tiger cub named Spoty gained attention.
The zoo represents the ecological heritage of Northeast India through its collection of regional species and educational programs focusing on local wildlife conservation.
The complex maintains separate sections for mammals, birds, and reptiles, with clear pathways leading visitors through both the zoological and botanical areas.
The zoo follows the design principles of London's Whipsnade facility, allowing animals to live in environments that replicate their natural habitats.
