One of the oldest and largest Zoo in South East Asia is Arignar Anna Zoological Park
The history of Chennai Zoo (formely known as Madras Zoo) dates back to the year 1855. This was the first zoo to be formed in India. The idea of collection of animals and maintaining at one place was mooted in 1855 by Dr.Edward Belford of the Madras Museum. The animals were housed in a Zoo over an area of 12.03 acres behind the Moore Market Complex near Central Station for about 125 years. As the Zoo was quite cramped and did not meet the bilogical and behavioral needs of the animals, decision was taken to shift the Zoo to an alternative site where adequate land to develop the required infrastructure for a modern Zoo was available. Vandalur Reserve Forest was selected and Today commonly known as Vandalur Zoo.
