Mumbai | Wednesday | 13th February, 2019

Summary:

The Byculla zoo will have to give the Junagadh zoo the animal later on. Last month, the Byculla zoo has also received approval for a pair of swamp deer (barasingha) from Kanpur zoo. Sources in the BMC said the Junagadh zoo has now decided to give the lion to Byculla without an exchange. AdvertisingThe lion will be brought in from Junagadh zoo, which had earlier refused to part with the big cat, as the Byculla zoo had no animal to offer in return. IN THE pipeline for over four years, the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) has approved a plan to get a lion to Veermata Jijabai Udyan, popularly known as the Byculla zoo..
