| Katraj (Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park & Wildlife Research Centre) |
Katraj earlier known
by Katraj Snake Park now known as Rajiv Gandhi
Zoological Park & Wildlife Research
Centre.
Katraj slightly outside the city proper,
the park is located along the Pune
Satara Highway near the Bharati Vidyapeeth
University. The park is 8 kilometers
from Pune, close to the Katraj Bus
Depot.
In 1997, in order to create a more
modern zoo in accordance with the
guidelines of the Central Zoo Authority
of India, the municipality selected
a site in Katraj and started developing
a new zoo. The zoo opened in 1999
as the Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park
& Wildlife Research Centre, and
initially included only the reptile
park, sambars, spotted deer, and monkeys.
Although it took until 2005, all of
the animals from Peshwe Park were
eventually moved to the new site,
and Peshwe Park was closed. The park
also incorporates a rescue center
for injured and orphaned animals.
It has run an Animal Adoption Scheme
since October 2010.
The zoo has a white tiger and a male
tiger named, "Tanaji". Other
mammals at the zoo include leopard,
sloth bears, sambhars, barking deer,
black bucks, peafowl, monkeys, and
elephants. Reptiles include Indian
rock python, cobra, snakes, vipers,
and Indian crocodiles. Amphibians
such as Indian star tortoise also
feature in the zoo.
It’s a open park to enjoy the
wildlife behaviors and activity it’s
also good park for photography and
beginner can learn behaviors and actions
of wild animals. |
