The Islamabad Zoo of Pakistan was opened in 1978 and is spread over an area of 82 acres. Providing care and shelter to the most brilliant wildlife species, this zoo is visited by people from all over the country. An aviary and a Japanese garden were added to the premises, which add to the zoo and have significantly contributed to its tourism. Plans of extending the zoo are underway, and will culminate with it being converted into a recreational center and a wildlife sanctuary. Some of the animals and birds that are home here are, black swan, golden pheasant, great white pelican, Indian eagle-owl, nilgai and black pond turtle. Enjoy a day here, at the Islamabad Zoo.
