Right in the heart of the bustling, crowded, noisy megapolis that is Mumbai, lies a green oasis: The Byculla Zoo.
Hitesh Harisinghani/Rediff.com takes us on a tour.
Located in the heart of the city, the Byculla Zoo, as it is fondly called, opened its gates to the public last month after being shut for almost a year.
The zoo is part of the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan (named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's mother).
While the zoo is home to many animals, it also boasts of a rich variety of flora that includes over 3,000 trees belonging to 276 species as well as over 800 kinds of plants.
Take a look.
