Guide to the Calcutta Zoological Gardens - Gyan Books

About The Book: Guide to the Calcutta Zoological Gardens by John Anderson serves as an informative handbook to one of India’s earliest zoological institutions. It provides detailed descriptions of the zoo’s layout, animal species, and exhibits, emphasizing both educational and scientific aspects of zoology in colonial Calcutta. Anderson, a noted Scottish zoologist and anatomist, offers insights into animal behaviour, conservation, and the zoo’s role in public learning. The work remains a valuable record of nineteenth-century zoological management and scientific observation in India.
