It was 20th February 2020, when I visited the Bangladesh National Zoo. The place is quite spacious and restful. I always had interests in animals of different species. A zoo is a resourceful place for animal lovers. It usually opens between 6.00-6.30 am every day except on national holidays. Not only the animals of different kinds but also the birds of different species were also there. Some of them are vegetarians and some of them are carnivorous. In my experience, it is better to visit the zoo in the early morning. It becomes quite tiresome to roam around the zoo at noon because of the scorching heat of the sun. It is best to go there in the winter season. In the summer one might find it enjoyable too with a hat and the refreshing carrot and cucumber sold inside the zoo. The junk foods are a little bit pricy inside the zoo. Mineral drinking water is available at regular prices. What I gathered from the zoo is the insight into nature. The ferocious Royal Bengal Tiger, emperor like the posture of the lion and lioness, amiable gestures of the monkeys, whirling snakes, colorful parrots, vigorous hippopotamus, sharp pelicans, etc mesmerized my curious eyes. There are benches to sit and relax where you will find little squirrels running to and fro. The whole area is covered with trees and bushes. The trees are cut into clear shapes. The roaming road is not so dusty. There is a museum inside the Zoo. I couldn’t make time to look around there. I captured photos of animals and birds. The Gorilla was bothered by my camera so I couldn’t take a proper picture of it. Altogether, the visit wasn’t a waste of time. It was fun as well as informative.

 The creation of God is indeed vast and that is what I got to realize more in the Zoo. The place is kid-friendly so the kids can visit there with their family. It is also good for a day-tour. Bangladesh National Zoo is one of the many wonderful tourist attractions in Dhaka. One can spend gleeful time there.
