Bannerghata Zoo and National Park

Today I went with Florian to the Bannerghata Zoo and Nationalpark which is about 30 minutes away from Bangalore. We arrived about half an hour before they opened, which turned out to be luck. As we left about 2 ours later the line was approx. 400m long...

We had plenty of fun there although many of the animals have way to small cages. Especially the hipos looked really sad.

Talking about Hippos... there is definitely a "dirty job there". One of the guys was emptying the drainage for the hippo cage, removing all the hippo droppings by hand :)

After the zoo we took a short "Safari" (pictures) where we saw lots of bears, Lions and Tigers.

After the zoo we went to the Bay Leaf restaurant and had afterwards a nice evening at my house.
