Seasonal Special Arrangements for Upkeep of Animals

Summer Management

  1. To counter the summer stress, a fogger system is made available in the Kraal section of the Asiatic Lion, Royal Bengal Tiger, Sloth Bear, Leopard, Long-billed Vulture, Peafowl, Shikra, and Kite.
  2. Coolers are provided in Sloth Bear, Leopard, Asian Lion, and Royal Bengal Tiger night cubicals.
  3. A wallowing pond is established in the sambar exhibit.
  4. Elephants are given cold water baths twice a day in summer, so animals are also left loose in water pools for swimming.
  5. A rain gun system for watering the garden area is utilized to maintain a cool atmosphere around enclosures.
  6. All snake houses are fitted with foggers, fans, and coolers, which are put into use depending upon variations in the ambient temperature.

Winter Management

  1. Wooden planks are used in the tiger and lion night cubicals, over which a layer of dry grass is spread to create sufficient warmth.
  2. In the resting sheds of deer and antelope, hips of dry grass are utilized as bedding material.
  3. In the reptile houses, blankets and heaters are used in adequate numbers.
