In 1980 on a day full of excitement and jubilation the first litter of white tigers was born to Deepak and Ganga, two normal tawny tigers. One of the rarest creatures in the world the regal white tiger received a new lease of life with the important research and concerted efforts initiated to try and breed them in the natural environs of Nandankanan. This important task was also facilitated by the gift of an adult male from the Frankfurt zoo. Gharial Breedingįor the first time ever, a captive breeding center was created for Gharial Crocodiles. The zoo enjoys an excellent reputation internationally, for successfully breeding black panthers, Gharial Crocodiles and white tigers in captivity. Over 67 kinds of mammals, 18 varieties of reptiles and 81 species of birds coexist in the deeply forested boundaries. Famous for its white tiger population, Nandankanan or the Garden of Gods has become a hot family favorite, with visitors getting an excellent opportunity to enjoy seeing these regal animals in their natural glory- in an environment conducive to their growth. It also contains a botanical garden and part of it has been declared as a sanctuary. NandankananĪ short distance from the capital city, Bhubaneswar, the Nandankanan zoo lies in the splendid environs of the Chandaka forest, along the rippling waters of the Kanjia lake. Some of the most important experiments of wildlife conservation are taking place in this natural habitat, giving the tourists an excellent opportunity to see nature’s bounty, propagated in an environment that is as healthy as it is beautiful. Apart from the Nandankanan Zoo and sanctuary and Similipal National Park, there are at least eighteen smaller sanctuaries that are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, birdlife reptiles and water creatures. One of the greatest benefits of Odisha‘s vast expanses of the unspoiled natural landscape has been its ability to offer a protected yet natural habitat to the state’s incredible wildlife.
