KANPUR: Almost immediately, animal lovers who visit the Allen Forest Zoo infrequently will get an opportunity to have a glimpse of the military macaw monkeys. These will be sent from Byculla Zoo in Mumbai. This is being done on an exchange basis as Kanpur Zoo will send swamp deer (Barasingha) there.
As is the news floating the BMC has been procreating that kind of monkeys for the past two decades. It is a set standard of the zoos scattered all over the country that follow the old barter system in exchange for the animals of its respective choice.
The denizens particularly the children will certainly enjoy seeing the monkeys though there is no dearth of monkeys in Kanpur’s different areas. However, that, being a different kind of mischief maker, has the capacity of attracting the visitors in large numbers.
