The National Zoological Park, also known as Delhi Zoo, is a sprawling 176-acre zoo situated near the Old Fort in Delhi, India. The zoo houses a myriad of animals and birds from around the world and aims to provide natural habitat to its inhabitants. Established in 1959, it was designed by the Franco-Polish architect Carl Hagenbeck, who advocated for moat enclosures that allowed the animal enclosures to be free from bars and cages, giving a more authentic feel to the visitor experience. The zoological park is home to several endangered species and promotes breeding programs to help in their conservation. The zoo's layout is in the shape of a circular path, split into different sections and paths for easy navigation. The park also features a library and a cafeteria. Some of the key attractions inside the zoo include white Bengal Tigers, Asiatic Lions, Elephants, and a variety of birds. The park is also equipped with battery-operated vehicles to help visitors cover the vast area. It is a place of interest for families, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers.
