The Gwalior Zoo curators, zoological managers and keepers take care of the animals' needs on a daily basis. An animal must have proper food, water, shelter, space and much more. The Zoo staff works at making our animal exhibits as natural as possible with trees, pools, shrubs, rocky outcroppings and other habitat additions. We add enrichment items to make an animal's life more complex and interesting, such as hidden food treats, new smells, mixed species in an exhibit, "toys" or animal training.

Our Veterinary Hospital takes animal health seriously. After all, good health is important if we want animals to have long lives and healthy babies. And since the Zoo has so many different kinds of animals, there are many different types of food we need to provide. Each group of animals has a specific diet that is determined by our nutritionist.

 

We learn all we can about an animal's natural behavior. We also study the animals in our care, such as their behavior or reproduction.
