Hyderabad Zoo to Welcome Mandrill, Hoolock Gibbons, and Zebras After Three Decades

The Nehru Zoological Park (NZP) in Hyderabad is preparing to welcome new residents that are set to become major attractions — a Mandrill from Jamshedpur, Hoolock Gibbons from Nagaland, and Zebras from Gujarat. This marks the first arrival of such species in more than 30 years, as part of an animal exchange programme between Indian zoos.

The Mandrill, a striking primate made famous worldwide through the character Rafiki in Disney’s The Lion King, is expected to draw considerable public attention. However, unlike its animated counterpart, this real-life Mandrill will be a symbol of biodiversity rather than entertainment. Officials confirm that the exchanges are expected to be completed within the next three months, after which visitors to Hyderabad Zoo will have the rare opportunity to see these species up close.

The arrival of Hoolock Gibbons, India’s only ape species, will be of particular ecological importance. Known for their loud, melodious calls and agile movements through forest canopies, gibbons are an endangered species that play a critical role in spreading seeds and maintaining forest health. Their presence at the zoo may also help highlight the urgent need to conserve India’s rapidly disappearing forest ecosystems.

Equally exciting will be the introduction of zebras, whose striking black-and-white stripes have long fascinated wildlife enthusiasts. While not native to India, their presence will diversify the zoo’s collection and offer visitors educational insights into African grassland ecosystems.

Zoo authorities say that while these arrivals are expected to increase visitor footfall, the larger goal is education, conservation, and awareness, ensuring that the public not only admires these animals but also understands their significance in the wild.

Hoolock Gibbons 🐵

• Hoolock Gibbons are India’s only apes and are found mainly in the Northeast.
• They are famous for their haunting songs, which can travel up to 2 km through dense forests.
• Sadly, they are endangered due to deforestation and habitat loss.

Zebras 🦓

• No two zebras have the same stripe pattern — they are as unique as human fingerprints.
• Their stripes act as a natural camouflage, confusing predators like lions.

👉 At animalrights.in, we emphasize that wildlife conservation is not only about public zoos or forests—it’s also about ensuring responsible stewardship wherever animals are kept, whether in private sanctuaries, wildlife parks, or rehabilitation centres. Every inquiry, audit, and investigation should reaffirm that animals are treated with care, respect, and dignity.
