PESHAWAR:

The Peshawar Zoo saw a surge of visitors on the third day of Eidul Fitr, with families, especially children, flocking to the wildlife sanctuary to celebrate the joyous occasion amid funfair and excitement.

The excitement was palpable as kids, accompanied by their parents, explored the zoo's diverse collection of wild animals and enjoyed the serene, lush environment.

The zoo's expansive layout, set on 29 acres near the University of Peshawar, boasts Pakistan's largest collection of native and exotic wildlife. At the entrance, large statues of an elephant and a giraffe capture the attention of visitors, sparking curiosity from those passing by Rahatabad Road.

Among the delighted visitors was Anaya Khan, a 9-year-old student from Nowshera district, who couldn't contain her joy after visiting the zoo for the first time.

"Seeing wild animals like the cobra snake, lion, falcons, and giraffes with my own eyes was a dream come true today," said Anaya, beaming with excitement.
