Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park, Darjeeling, India

Established in 1958 to study and conserve Himalayan fauna, especially the endangered, this park has been able to breed several species in captivity, such as red pandas, Tibetan wolves, and snow leopards. Most large animals are kept in near-natural, no-roof enclosures and are cared for by dedicated keepers.
