AHMEDABAD: This is possibly the most valuable barter any Gujarat zoo
has pulled off so far. In 2016, an exclusive Gir Asiatic lion section
was opened in the famed ZSL London Zoo and Gujarat sent a pair of Asiatic lions from Sakkarbaug Zoo. In return, ZSL has sent Gujarat a pair of cheetahs, two ring-tailed lemurs and two zebras.
Forest department officials of Junagadh wildlife division said this will be the first time Sakkarbaug Zoo will have zebras or ring-tailed lemurs. No zoos in the state have these animals. Officials said the animals will arrive later this month and will available for public viewing after 30 days of quarantine. Chief conservator of forests, A P Singh, said, "In December 2016 we had sent a pair of lions named, Amal and Toral, to ZSL. In exchange for the pair, Sakkarbaug Zoo will get these pairs of three different species."
