The century-old Mysuru zoo is adding more animal species to its collections as it has struck a deal with a zoo in the Czech Republic and got a couple of exotic species of animals, making it one of the zoos with the most diverse collection of animal and bird species.
The zoo got wallaby and ring-tailed lemur early this month and they are under quarantine. Two male and three female ring-tailed lemurs and two female and one male wallabies arrived at the zoo under the animal exchange programme with the Czech zoo. In return, the Czech zoo has asked for a pair of wild dogs and a pair of wolves.
This is the first international animal exchange of Mysuru zoo this year.
