Beautiful leopard in the grass at Nandankan Zoo near Bhubaneswar in Orissa India
A short distance from Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Orissa in India,, the Nandankanan Zoo lies in the Chandaka forest, along the banks of the Kanjia Lake. Famed for its white tiger population, Nandankanan, or the 'Garden of Gods', has become a family favourite, with visitors getting an excellent opportunity to see animals in their natural glory - in an environment conducive to their growth. Over 67 kinds of mammals, 18 varieties of reptiles and 81 species of birds co-exist in the deeply forested boundaries. The zoo enjoys an excellent reputation internationally, for successfully breeding black panthers, leopards, gharial crocodiles and white tigers in captivity
