September 10, Tuesday: The Assam State Zoo in Guwahati has welcomed several exotic birds and animals as part of a recent animal exchange program, adding to its already diverse collection of wildlife. This initiative is aimed at enhancing the zoo’s biodiversity and providing visitors with an opportunity to see rare and unique species up close.
The new arrivals include a range of exotic species, such as vibrant macaws, playful lemurs, and colorful pheasants, which were acquired through a strategic exchange with other zoos in the country.
