Bhubaneswar, Dec 29: The Nandankanan Zoo and State Botanical Garden will remain temporarily closed for visitors from December 30 to January 3 as a precautionary measure against spread of new Covid variant Omicron. Earlier on Wednesday, the zoo celebrated its 62nd Foundation Day. On this special occasion, an Indian pangolin has been released into the forest. Also, six tiger cubs were named as Sohini, Abhay, Bibek, Rocky, Banshi, and Rakesh. The names were given following the recommendation of the visitors. Nandankanan Zoological Park was established in 1960. It is the second largest zoo in India. It was opened to the public in 1979 and became the first zoo in India to join World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) in 2009.
