The zoo has shifted a pair of lions to the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park in Visakhapatnam and as part of an exchange program, is looking forward to acquire some animals.
Prominent among those set to shortly join the zoo here in the city from Sepahijala Zoo are Spectacled Langur and Pig-tailed Macaque. However, the arrival of much awaited Zebra from South Africa has been delayed by certain procedural matters and could take some more time before they are brought in. The zoo has entered into a deal for a dozen Zebras and planned to house four here and send rest to the zoos at Tirupati and Visakhapatnam.
According to officials, the issue has got delayed due to certain queries from the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) and the same were being sorted out.
