20.2.2008 Indian Zoo It is now a few days after the great visit to the zoo but I felt that Mysore zoo deserved a big appraise for what they achieved. If you took all the Indians out of that space you would think that you were in a western zoo, maybe not one that is as clean and well maintained but after my hideous experience in China where the animals were in cages size of a shoe, I had felt reluctant to see what Mysore zoo may have had for offer.
