Lahore Zoo has chalked out special programmes, including puppet shows, variety shows, drama and other entertainment to attract visitors especially children during Eidul Adha holidays. Director of Lahore Zoological Gardens Shafqat Ali told APP on Sunday that wildlife guides would be deployed at various important points, especially near tiger and bear cages, to provide information to visitors regarding their natural habitat, habits, average life span and food. Tigers, lions and monkeys are likely to be the centre of attraction for visitors, especially children who enjoy each and every action of these animals. Shafqat disclosed that a small area has also been earmarked for “jumping jacks” for the kids. “Leaflets and stickers relating to the Lahore Zoo describing its history and the origin of its wildlife wealth would be given free of cost to visitors for their information,” he said. Special ticket booths, four each for men and women, would also be established at both entry points of the Zoo to facilitate visitors, he said, adding that foolproof security arrangements had also been made.
