Honorable CM Himanta Biswa Sarma (Modi Ka Parivar) made a special visit to ASSAM STATE ZOO, personally selecting the name 'PARIJAT' for our cute baby giraffe based on suggestions from the audience. During his visit, he delighted in the experience of feeding little Parijat, the newest member to our zoo family

Day out with 🐘🐒🐯🦛

Visited the State Zoo to check on 'Parijat', the little Giraffe 🦒 and his other colleagues .

Our zoo has also added many more attractions and a ₹350cr upgradation plan is on the anvil.

Do visit with the little ones.

While Parijat, the giraffe, has been basking in publicity (rightly so), Assam State Zoo is also among the few zoos in the country to house Orangutans.

Paid a courtesy call to Panoi and Jonki, our resident 🦧

Happy to share that the Assam State Zoo has been blessed with a cute baby Giraffe just three days ago.

Any suggestions for naming the new born?
