Zoo Rock is one of the intriguing attractions within the Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Madhya Pradesh, India.

Zoo Rock is particularly famous for its vivid rock art, which prominently features drawings of animals, giving an insight into the life and environment of prehistoric humans. The petroglyphs include images of elephants, barasingha (swamp deer), bison, and tigers. The rock art serves as a record of the fauna that existed in the region thousands of years ago and the relationship between humans and animals. The site is nestled amidst dense forests and offers a serene ambiance, allowing visitors to step back in time and connect with early human history. In addition to its rich archaeological significance, the location provides scenic views of the surrounding landscape, characterized by rugged terrain and lush greenery.
