Night Zoo (Nocturnal Zoo)

Kankariya zoo of Ahmedabad is very innovative and always comes up with a unique ideas. Years ago when I went to the zoo I found that wild animals like hyenas, leopards and jackals always remain tired or sleepy.

Zoo authorities launched the night zoo (Nocturnal zoo). Actually, the concept is that they change day to night and night to day for the animals. Change the feeding pattern and provide an artificial lighting effect to give a feeling of the night to the animal. So they remain active during the daytime.

It’s a kind of glass cage so visitors can easily identify the animal’s activities. They have put the microphone inside the cage so the roar of animals can be heard by visitors. It’s a kind of unique experience for the visitors to see wild active animals. As of now, they have introduced a few animals to this house but later on, they will add more animals.
