Manali Zoo, Manali

2

Manali Zoo is a popular attraction in the city that is famous for monal, the state bird of Himachal Pradesh. Adult male monals have long metallic green crests with multicoloured plumage while the females are rather plain with a mix of brown and black plumage.

For a long time, male monals were being hunted for their brilliantly coloured crests, until hunting was banned in 1982. Apart from monals, several other species of birds and animals are found at this zoo.
