Final 2012 June ZPM Full Text Dhaka Zoo ... now Bangladesh National Zoo ... a casual inspection Sally Walker Background Various enclosures There is no enrichment inside My 10th visit to Dhaka Zoo was anywhere. The animals don’t get much inspired by the news that Dhaka Zoo Crocodiles time outside where they have to go had ordered another large The Crocodilian enclosures are one at a time. The one lion observed consignment of animals from South relatively new but the style dates way as close quarters was without spirit Africa. A couple of years ago the zoo back: concrete, chain mesh, very little and in indifferent condition. had ordered such a consignment and I water, etc. One is acceptable with a was informed that many of the animals large tank and an area for sunning with died in a relatively short time. I flew grass and sand. The Crocodiles and over to Dhaka shortly after hearing this Gharials are said to be breeding, news and it was confirmed by according to the Curator.

A great deal of improvement is that time, is long gone by now and the required for these aquatic reptiles...in new management denied the previous husbandry, in enclosure design, in deaths. animal welfare and in education. As Director of the South Asian Zoo Association for Regional Cooperation SAZARC, I was asked if Dhaka Zoo was a member of WAZA or of SAZARC. A pair of African white rhino calves had been purchased by the zoo but had to be a member of WAZA or a regional association in order to get a permit. I did not claim Dhaka Zoo as a member in good standing but they told that they were members and got the animals anyway. Dhaka Zoo should never have been permitted to get those animals without having gone The tiger observed outside was pacing through extensive training and study of around the entire moat and back up to their needs at all levels, and also its cage repeatedly, indicating without serious changes in the zoo stereotypy.

There are three improvements had been made since animals there, one of them could be an my last visit. offspring. It is possible they replaced an animal with another wild one. This Unsuitable crocodilian enclosures Inspection of Dhaka Zoo took place some years ago and was a big issue between officials and this On 18 & 19 June I spent some hours at Lions and Tigers Dhaka Zoo inspecting the veterinary writer.

At the risk of anthropomorphizing, I say this leopard is in despair which the photo below conveys. Zoo authorities are afraid to put the pair together because the animals might fight. Hippo There are 8 hippos, six having been born in the zoo according to Curator. They have a nice environment relatively speaking, e.g., a very large tank with lake water coming in daily and a suction pump to remove dirty water. Curator hopes to exchange the hippos for animals from other zoos. Leopard in total despair Veterinary hospital The new facility is an upgrade of an old building with serious new machinery in three rooms, an x-ray room, operating theater, and “mini-lab”. There is no dedicated operator for this machinery it seems. Curator has informed that he would manage the machines.

  • Bangladesh Zoo Seeks Mate for Lonely Kanchi the Rhino 15 January 2021, by Shafiqul Alam
    Bangladesh zoo seeks mate for lonely Kanchi the Rhino 15 January 2021, by Shafiqul Alam "Her mood swings frequently. Sometimes she does not respond to my calls. It is mainly because she has grown up alone all these years," Mia said. "I tell her that we will soon find her a male partner. But she is restless. She needs a partner desperately." Abdul Latif, curator of the zoo, said the coronavirus pandemic had blocked recent efforts to bring in a male rhino from Africa. "We know she feels lonely and we are trying our best to buy a suitable partner," Latif told AFP. Kanchi the rhino at a Bangladeshi zoo has been alone since the death of her partner in 2014 A lonely rhinoceros at a Bangladesh zoo is looking for new love after losing her partner seven years ago, but pandemic travel restrictions are hampering her keeper's attempts to play matchmaker. Kanchi, a star attraction at the Bangladesh National Zoo, is at her most fertile age. But since the death of her male partner in 2014, she has been living on her own in her muddy pen in the northern suburb of the capital. The Bangladesh National Zoo said the pandemic had blocked recent efforts to bring in a male rhino from Africa The malaise of Kanchi the rhino has become for Kanchi increasingly apparent to the two million-plus visitors a year at the Dhaka landmark. Kanchi refuses food and often snubs her carer There has been more attention given to Kanchi, Farid Mia, who hugs the rhino and scratches its however, since the plight of Kaavan, the world's neck and shoulders.

Canines and felines are definitive hosts,planktonic crustaceans of the genus Cyclops are first intermediate hosts, and fish, reptiles and amphibians are second intermediate hosts in the life cycle of Spirometra. Spargana, the infective larval stage, may infect other animals and humans. Despite the abundance of spirometrosis in most Asian countries surrounding Bangladesh, only a few sporadic parasitological reports are available in Bangladesh to date. Materials and Methods: Astudy was undertaken for the clinical-parasitological and morphological assessment of Spirometrosis in an Asiatic lion (Panthera Leo persica) at Bangladesh National Zoo.Consequently,Traces back to epidemiological investigations on copepods (Cyclops), Asian bullfrogs (Hoplobatrachustigerinus), water snakes (Tropidonotus spp.) and buffalo meat (Bubalusbubalis) to detect larval stages were done to assess human risk of spargana infection in Bangladesh stemming from shared pastures (between human and other hosts) and meat from buffalo from those pastures on which the lion was used to feed on.

    Bangladesh J. Zool. 46(2): 231-237, 2018 ISSN: 0304-9027 (print) 2408-8455 (online) OCCURRENCE OF GASTROINTESTINAL HELMINTHS IN CAPTIVE RHESUS MACAQUES (MACACA MULATTA) Taniza Tabasshum*, Mandira Mukutmoni and Aleya Begum Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Abstract: A total of 66 (sixty-six) fresh fecal samples were collected during July 2017 to October 2018 from rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) residing in Bangladesh National Zoo, Dhaka. Samples were analyzed applying formol-ether concentration technique. All the rhesus macaques, irrespective of age and sex, were found to be infested with one or more species of gastrointestinal (GI) helminth parasites. Ascaris spp. was noticed in all the fecal samples. Overall intensity of helminths was higher in male (38.53) that in female (31.04) comprising the maximum (58.08) in adult male (p < 0.005). The highest intensity was of Ascaris spp. (3.33 ± 1.39) and found in adult male hosts. Young female rhesus macaques displayed the maximum intensity of Trichuris spp. (3.56 ± 0.73). Key words: Captive, rhesus macaques, helmench, prevalence, intensity INTRODUCTION Non-human primates (NHP) are the closest living biological relatives, offering critical perceptions into human evolution, biology and behavior and playing important roles in the livelihoods, cultures, and religions of many societies. They contribute to tropical biodiversity and run many functions of ecological importance. Among the NHPs, rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) are synanthropic, thriving in human altered environments that help them to be among the most widely distributed and successful primates in the world (Hasan et al. 2013). But unsustainable human activities are now the major force driving primate species to extinction (Estrada et al.

Khan Ishtiaq Uddin Ahmad Design: Jahangir Alam Copyright: © Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Citation: MoEF, 2016. Bangladesh Vulture Conservation Action Plan 2016-2025. Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh. pp. X+58. Cover Photo: © Enam Ul Haque Printing: Shoilpik Choa ISBN: 978-984-34-1222-5 FOREWORD Bangladesh has a record of seven vulture species but unfortunately, the vulture population of Bangladesh has went through a catastrophic decline similar to the decline seen across South Asia. Overwhelming evidence from myriad scientific literatures confirm that veterinary drug diclofenac (a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID), widely prescribed and used for cattle treatment in South Asia, is responsible for the drastic drop of vulture population. Taking account of the evidence, Government of Bangladesh, in effort to save the vultures, has banned the production, distribution and sale of veterinary diclofenac in 2010, and later declared two Vulture Safe Zones (VSZ-1: 19,663.18 km2 and VSZ-2: 27717.26 km2) in 2014 - both decisions reflect the state’s commitment to vulture conservation. Regrettably, diclofenac is still available at border areas of Bangladesh; moreover other NSAIDs like ketoprofen and flunixin have been found to be toxic to Gyps vultures. Additionally, habitat loss and food shortage have always been a threat to the vulture population in Bangladesh.
