Patan Zoo

Yeah, so I know it’s lame. But even though I had tried, I hadn’t seen a one-horned rhino or a Bengal tiger while in Nepal and that’s even lamer. So I visited the zoo.

The Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park, Patna was established as a Botanical Garden in 1970 and it is the only Zoo of Bihar. It is commonly known as ‘Patna Chiriyaghar’ or ‘Patna Zoo’.

There are 108 different species of wild animals in the zoo, of which 50 species are endangered. The total number of animals and birds in Patna Zoo is 1163.

Patna Zoo is world famous for ex-situ conservation breeding of the one-horned rhinoceros. Other mammals such as Royal Bengal Tiger, White Tiger, Black Beer, Giraffe are also bred successfully.
