165 species. After the new government took over in January 2007, joint forces
rescued many of these new residents of the park during their drives at houses and
establishments owned by graft suspects.Many individuals also donated some of
the animals to the park during this period. The seized and donated animals recently
sent to the park include 90
spotted deer
, 42 barking deer, three sambar deer, one freshwater crocodile,
one saltwater crocodile,
nine black bears, four pythons, peacocks, Turkish
pheasants and two emus.
An other source of animals is the Dhaka Zoo. While the animal population in Dhaka
zoo has increased over the years due to their breeding, the Dhaka zoo donates a
number of lions and tigers to the Dulahazara Safari
The park itself protects a large number of wild elephants
which are native to the area. In the safari park there are domesticated
elephants which are available for a ride. Other animal attractions include lions,
Bengal tigers, crocodiles, bears,
spotted deer and many types of birds and monkeys.
Since the park was made open to the public, it has been
drawing a huge crowd all year round — 6,000 visitors daily during peak season
(November to March) and 2,000 visitors daily during off season (April to
October).
