City zoo gets sloth bears, iguanas from Hyderabad

A pair of sloth bears and a pair of green iguanas have reached the city zoo from Nehru Zoological Park, Hyderabad.

The new arrivals were brought in exchange for rhea, a long-legged flightless bird.

A nine-member team, led by zoo superintendent T.V. Anilkumar and senior veterinary surgeon Jacob Alexander and comprising a supervisor and keepers, left for Hyderabad via road on March 7 with four white and four brown rheas and returned on Monday with a pair of seven-year-old sloth bears and a pair of two-year-old green iguanas.
