Bhubaneswar, Nov 11: Odisha Forest, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ganesh Ram Singh Khuntia on Sunday inaugurated an exotic primate enclosure here at the Nandankanan Zoological Park.

“Seven species of primates from around the world have been housed in the naturalistic enclosure. It would help attract more tourists to the zoo,” said the minister.

 Now tourists can witness Cotton Top Tamarin, Golden Handed Tamarin, Siamang, Black Tufted Marmoset, Common Marmoset, Geoffroy's Marmoset and Squirrel Monkey in the new enclosure.

There are plans to bring three more species of exotic primates to the zoo in the coming days, said Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Susanta Nanda.

 The enclosure has been developed over an area of 13,665 sq ft, having seven nature-simulating enclosures with species-specific enrichment, 18 feeding cells, and 10 back kraals, meticulously designed to mimic the natural habitat of these fascinating creatures.

The enclosure will have stretchable tensile fabric canopy, glass fronted viewing area, waterfall, landscaping and stamp concrete roads in coming days.
