WHEN WILDLIFE CROSSES BORDERS.

Wildlife conservation doesn’t always happen just in the forest.

Sometimes, it begins with two institutions working together.

In an inter-zoo animal exchange between Shivamogga Zoo and Patna Zoo, two male Indian gaurs travelled from Karnataka to Bihar.

In return, Shivamogga welcomed Indian grey wolves — along with four gharials.

Different landscapes.
Different species.
One shared purpose.

Behind every transfer is a carefully coordinated process of transport, veterinary care, quarantine and adaptation, ensuring that each animal makes the journey safely.

From the forests of Karnataka to the plains of Bihar, these animals have become part of a story that extends far beyond the boundaries of a single zoo.

Because conservation is not confined by geography.
It connects us all.

🐺 KNOW YOUR WOLVES — THE INDIAN GREY WOLF

Wolves may belong to the same species complex, but they are not all the same. Across the world, wolves have evolved different body sizes, coat colours, habitats and behaviours in response to the landscapes and climates they call home.

🇮🇳 Indian Grey Wolf — Canis lupus pallipes

The Indian Grey Wolf is a distinct and fascinating wolf of the Indian subcontinent, especially adapted to hot, dry and open landscapes.

Key features:

* 🐺 Smaller & slender — generally lighter-built than many northern wolf populations.
* 🌾 Open-country specialist — associated with grasslands, scrublands, semi-arid regions and open landscapes.
* 🌡️ Heat adapted — its smaller body and shorter, greyish-tan coat suit warmer climates.
* 🦌 Diet — mainly wild ungulates and small mammals; livestock may also be taken where natural prey is limited.
* 👥 Smaller packs — social groups are often smaller than those of many other wolf populations.
* 🗺️ Indian range — found mainly across parts of western, central and southern India.
* 🌿 Conservation — although classified as Least Concern globally, Indian Grey Wolves face local pressures such as habitat loss and human–wildlife conflict.

🌍 How is it different?

Many other wolf populations: larger and heavier, with adaptations to colder forests, mountains or Arctic environments, and often thicker coats.

Indian Grey Wolf: smaller, more slender, shorter greyish-tan coat, adapted to hot and dry climates, open habitats and landscapes increasingly influenced by human activity.

Same wolf family. Different adaptations. One remarkable survivor. 🐺🇮🇳

🌿🐒 INTERNATIONAL PRIMATES DAY 🐒🌿

This International Primates Day, Let’s Break the Cycle.

It may begin with a simple act of kindness—feeding a monkey. But when wild animals are repeatedly fed by humans, that kindness can unintentionally change their natural behaviour and create a harmful cycle.

🍌 Human Feeding
⬇️
🐒 Increased Dependence on Human Food
⬇️
📈 Population Pressure & Resource Competition
⬇️
🌳 Greater Pressure on Forest Resources
⬇️
🌱 Forest Degradation & Ecosystem Imbalance
⬇️
😔 More Hunger, Stress & Infighting
⬇️
🏘️ Dependence on Human Landscapes
⬇️
⚠️ Human–Wildlife Conflict

But we can break this cycle.

As individuals, we can choose actions that support the welfare of both people and wildlife:

🚫 Do not feed wild monkeys.
🌳 Protect and respect their natural habitats.
🗑️ Never leave food or waste accessible to wildlife.
👀 Observe wildlife from a safe distance.
🤝 Respect natural wildlife behaviour instead of encouraging dependence.
📢 Spread awareness and encourage responsible wildlife practices.
🌿 Support habitat restoration and conservation efforts.

True compassion is not making wildlife dependent on us.
True compassion is protecting their freedom to live naturally.

🐒 Let monkeys remain wild.
🌳 Let forests remain their home.
🤝 Let people and wildlife coexist with respect.

This International Primates Day, let’s stop feeding and start protecting.

Your food may satisfy them for a moment.
A healthy forest can sustain them for generations.

🌿 Protect Primates. Protect Forests. Protect Our Shared Future.

As part of the Nature Conservation Education Programme, Shivamogga Zoo, in collaboration with GHPS, Kashipura, celebrated Global Tiger Day 2026 by organizing a Greeting Card Making Competition for school children.

The students created beautiful tiger-themed greeting cards and shared them with zoo visitors, wishing everyone a Happy Global Tiger Day while spreading the message of tiger conservation. Prizes were distributed to the winners, and all participants enjoyed an educational visit to the zoo and the Tiger & Lion Safari.

As a meaningful gesture towards wildlife conservation, GHPS, Kashipura adopted the Royal Bengal Tiger “Sita” for a day under the zoo’s animal adoption programme.🐯🐅✨🌿
