"Well-maintained Animal Park"

Thiruvananthapuram Zoo was established in 1857 by the King of Travancore to attract tourists. Spread across 22 hectares (55 acres) that cover picturesque dense forests and lakes, the zoo has several species of animals not only from India but also from other countries. A renovation in 1995 led to the zoo's modernization, and what was once an animal park used for recreation has now acquired the role of a conservation center for endangered species. Animals are now kept inside enclosures in a more naturalistic set up. Species of animals inside this well-maintained habitat include the royal Bengal Tiger, Asiatic lion, One-Horned Great Indian Rhino, Nilgiri langur, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, along with African hippos, giraffes, and Cape buffaloes. Considered to be one of the oldest in India, the zoo is a recommended tourist destination.
