Warangal Zoo Welcomes Tigers, Gaur, and Deer After a Decade

Deccan Chronicle  

WARANGAL: After a decade-long wait, animal lovers and residents of Warangal district are finally set to welcome two tigers, three Indian gaurs, and two species of deer to Kakatiya Zoological Park at Hunter Road in Hanamkonda. Founded in 1985 as a mini-zoo by then Andhra Pradesh Governor Shankar Dayal Sharma, KZP is the second largest zoo in Telangana, spanning 92 acres. Efforts to bring in the big cats had been underway since 2017, but the lack of interest from the BRS government delayed the process despite approval from the Central Zoo Authority for the construction of a tiger enclosure. District Forest Officer Lavanya confirmed that the long wait of Warangal's residents and animal lovers will soon be over with the arrival of the tigers.
