The Nehru Zoological Park also known as the Hyderabad Park has the record of being the first such park in the country to have the animals arranged in zoological order in open enclosures. Animals in the zoo or the park as it is called are kept in open enclosures providing them the natural ambience needed. Such a method of keeping animals in open enclosures makes them feel at home. This is also helpful in their breeding. It also helps the researchers in the study of the animal behavior. The Zoological Park has successfully bred many indigenous animals.

The Park houses more than 1200 animals and 100 different species giving them an artificially created habitat but ensuring that they do have a feel that they are in their own natural habitat. Many species of animals, birds and reptiles are present in this zoo. Species like Tigers, Lions, Chimpanzees, Panthers, White peacocks, Rhinoceros, Mynahs, Deer, Tortoise, Antelopes, Crocodiles, snakes like Python, Gaur and various other kind of birds are present in Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad. Both the breeds of Lions i.e. the African as well as the Indian Lions are the attraction here. Other attractions in the zoo are the panthers and the rare white tigers. The park is maintained by the Forest Department.
