Zoo with a view at Mumbai
The BMC has allocated Rs 25 crore this year to give Mumbai's only zoo at Byculla a complete makeover — cages and shackled animals will be replaced by wildlife enclosures and botanical gardens. Veermata Jijabai Udyan is to be turned into a tourist attraction of international standards.
The garden has a splendid green cover of various rare varieties of plants. Presently, the zoo houses 212 mammals of 21 species, around 400 birds of 41 species and 54 reptiles of 10 species. It also has a veterinary clinic.
