Get ready for a really thrilling wildlife experience. No, you don’t have to take a jeep safari. You can just use your own two feet and find your way to the lovely Padmaja Naidu Zoological Park to encounter some very rare and exotic creatures. Follow the serene path down to the Snow Leopard Breeding Centre Call ahead to do so because there is some very special conservation work going on here to save one of earth’ s most precious wild animals. It’s really a privilege to be able to come face to face with the snow leopard, which normally is to be found at very high altitudes in the Himalayas. This is probably the only place in the world where breeding of snow leopards in captivity has been successful. There is a genuine worry for their survival as climate change will surely impact on their snowy habitat as the glaciers have started retreating because of global warming and it needs to find a home in even higher altitudes. On your way to the centre keep a look out for the endangered red panda feeding among the trees.
