The zoo

After BUET was given sine die last june, we planned a 3 day dhaka tour for the vacation. The basic plan was to visit memorable places and monuments of dhaka. Day 1 consisted of visiting architecturial monuments of old dhaka like Ahsan monjil, Lalbagher kella, Choto katra , Boro katra. But I missed the first day of our tour as I went to jessore. Day 2 was for Dhaka zoo and botanical garden. So after this eid we thought lets visit these two. We weren't too optimistic about dhaka zoo mainly because we heard and read numerous stories of corruption of zoo officials in newspapers. But in reality we were quite pleased with the zoo environment. It was comperatively clean and some of the animals were really lively. Perhaps it was due to Eid. Or we became too pessimist before visiting the zoo.

Without further ado I present you a few pictures of that day I took...

Chitrol horin, DeersThese deers (Chitrol horin) were curious at us.

Royal Bengal TigerWe visited him just after his lunch , when he went out for a walk.

White PeacockThis white peacock was very beautiful.

I forgot his name. can any one help?

PeacockWe tried to scare the peacock so that we could see it's tail (the beautiful plumage). But it didn't give a shit :(

Maya horin , deerThe maya horin was very friendly

Sambar horin, deerThe sambar was taking a rest..

Macaw , kakatuaKakatua (Macaw?)

PythonThis python had just had it's lunch.. Look at it's mid section..

PelicansThese pelicans were too far away for my point and shoot camera. I was missing an SLR :( . You'll have to look at the higher resolution image to see the pelicans. Click the image to see them.


Now as you've completed reading it, it's no harm to check this one now from mezba bhai.

  8. The "Chitrol horin" and the Bengal Tiger pictures were really too majestic. The peacock looks good even when the tail is tucked in, eh?

    Khaled, Amra to bhaloi berabo. Tomare shalla bolleo ashona :@

    Shaon, Matro ek bochor age? Ami shesh kobe gechi sheyta amar moneo nai. kompokkhe 12-15bochor age to botei.

    Esha, The E-R relation is simple. Guys marry girls. So they visit zoos to have an idea ;)

    Hasan, I'vent tasted deer yet. But I had strong desire to do so. Once in rangamati I was asked to have a meal with deer but unfortunately I couldn't manage time :( . When I last visited dhaka zoo 12-15years ago, I also rode on elephant and the horse. :D

    Tareq, You can have a walk there some times. It's quite beautiful, infact more beautiful then we expected.

    Eshon, Yeah things changed. The zoo wasn't too stinky or dusty as it was just after eid, so it had a little makeover. And you should read mezba bhai's blog regular. He has amazing sense of humour.

    Mezba bhai, While the tiger was having the walk, the body language was so majestic. I just can't explain. I captured the walk, but my crappy connection won't allow me to upload a video.

    Audity, Uni bolod non, uni holen shambar horin. Onara eki kha(n)cha te thaken. :P Pelican bok pokkhina. Pelican shei pokkhi jaar thot ta bag er moton. :P
