What zoos are doing in times of Covid-19

AHMEDABAD: While workers across the world have been excused from meetings because of Covid, the jungle royalty at the Ahmedabad zoo has been exempted from the mating duties."We are a zoo with breeding facilities and controlled mating is permitted at the Kamla Nehru Zoological Garden," in-charge zoo superintendent Bharatsinh Vivol said. "But due to the coronavirus concerns, we have completely stopped the mating programme and we ensure that two animals are not housed in one cage." The facility has the only nocturnal zoo in the state. The zoo has taken a series of precautions to ensure that Covid does not affect its animals.
