Central Zoo, Jawalakhel Species List

[Northwestern Wolf]

First of all, this is my first thread so I don't know where to post this. So, if this is in the wrong place. Please let me know. Open to criticism.

The species lists are my favorite things about this website because the zoo data in websites/ Wikipedia isn't that reliable. So, I'm going to do this myself. Anyways, the zoo is not well organized but there is some sorting. I'm just going to make this easy and organize all of this myself ( Or at least try to )

Thank you for opening this thema, appreciated. It migth come handy for others in future if somebody might be deciding if to visit this place during its Nepal trip. And congratulation for your first thread.

The species you mention as Pond Turtle - you mean Emys orbicularis (European pond turtle) or Geoclemys hamiltonii (Spotted pond turtle)?

I visited this zoo in 2009 and it’s always fun to be remembered, so thanks and well done.

The four-horned antilope stand out, as I can’t remember seeing them in 2009 and they are extremely rare in captivity. Wonder where they got them from…

You may not have seen a lion yet, but there's a few on that list that many of us are envious of

I didn't see them in my last visit either. But, I think they do have them.
As for where they got them from. I think they got them from Banke National Park where they said they were rescued.

You're right it is a spotted pond turtle. Thanks
