In zoo, officials struggle to keep animals warm
JAIPUR: Authorities of the Jaipur Zoological Garden are at their wits end to provide warmth to the occupants - animals and birds - as the increasing cold waves and fog pronounce tough days ahead. The authorities are trying from laying bed made of grass to jute curtains and complete change in diet to arranging heaters for a selected few to keep the birds and animals warm.
The zoo has a total of 800 animals, including a few from foreign lands like a pair of Australian emus and African baboons from diverse climatic regions. Special arrangements have also been made for the most powerful inmates - tigers and lions.
