Zoological Garden
The zoo is the center of attraction in the compound. As the zoo is not in par with the concept of the modern zoo by Central Zoo Authority, efforts are in progress to translocate it to a proposed new site at Puthoor. Most probably the animals in the zoo will be shifted to the new site in the coming year. At present the zoo houses about 470 animals in 50 species. Hybrid lion, Bengal Tiger and Indian Leopard are the big cats housed in the zoo. Exotic species like Hippopotamus, Ostrich, Rhea, Emu, Chukar Partridge are some of the best species housed in the zoo. A lot of terrestrial and aquatic species of birds are also exhibited in the zoo.
