Indore: Under the Animal Zoo Exchange Programme, a new guest will adorn Indore Zoo in Madhya Pradesh. The new guest zebra has been exchanged from Gujarat Zoo with the White Tiger of Indore. This African zebra will reach Indore Zoo by 4 pm. There is great curiosity among the people of Indore to see this. A large number of people will reach the zoological museum.
This is an addition to more than 1,300 wild animals that it already has. This will make Indore Zoo the first zoo of Madhya Pradesh to have these animals with distinctive black-and-white striped coats.
MiC member Nandkishore Pahadia said that the zoo will receive these animals from Gujarat. ‘Zebras will reach Indore by 12 pm on Wednesday. The zebras are coming from Jamnagar. They will be brought in exchange of white tigers. This will be the pair of zebras,” Pahadia said.
The zoo management has sent a proposal under the animal exchange programme to zoos earlier. In the proposal, the zoo has given a list of animals it has. These include tigers, lions, deer, chitals and jackals. Their number has increased in the zoo so they can easily be given to other zoos.
Earlier too, the zoo administration had planned to bring a zebra three years ago. A proposal for getting the African zebra was sent to Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Zoo of Mumbai and the zoo administration had also got the green signal from the Central Zoo Authority under animal exchange programme for the transfer.
According to the information, a pair of African zebras is being brought from Gujarat to Indore under the Animal Exchange Programme. In return, the White Tiger has been sent from Indore to Jamnagar in Gujarat. Indore Zoo will get a pair of zebras. Indore Zoo has now become the only zoological museum in Central India, where zebras can be seen in the coming times.
