'''Jaipur Zoo''' is in the city of [[Jaipur]] in [[Rajasthan]] state in [[India]]. The zoo was opened in 1877 and is located near to the [[Albert Hall Museum]] and [[Ram Niwas Garden|Ram Nivas Garden]]. It is divided into two parts: one for mammals and other for birds and reptiles.<br />
Nearly 50 species of different birds and animals from all over the world can be seen here. <br />
In year 1999, the [[ghariyal]] breeding farm is established which is fourth largest breeding farm in India. A museum was also constructed inside the zoo which exhibits the wildlife of Rajasthan.<br />
The Jaipur Zoo has been constituted under the Wild Life (Protection) Act. The main objective of the zoo is to complement the national effort in conservation of wild life. In 2018 it was announced that the zoo will be converted into a bird park with large aviaries. Large carnivores have already left the Jaipur zoo.<br />
