Tiger Spotted in Remote Region
Photo Collected
The Bangladesh National Zoo in Dhaka experienced a tranquil atmosphere this Thursday as families and visitors gathered to celebrate Eid al-Adha. While traditional holiday crowds were notably absent, the sparse attendance allowed for a more intimate viewing experience, with guests enjoying the serene, tree-lined environment without the usual congestion.
Among the attractions, the enclosure housing Bakul, a Bengal tiger, drew particular attention from younger visitors. Children crowded against the primary safety barriers, cheering and pointing as the tiger paced actively inside. For many parents, the holiday provided a rare opportunity to introduce their children to the diverse animal collection.

Mohammad Yasin, a visitor from the city’s Farmgate area, noted that he brought his three-year-old son, Rafsan, specifically to ensure he could observe the animals in a comfortable setting. The family opted for a day at the zoo rather than traveling to their village for the holiday, finding the reduced crowd size a significant benefit for their outing.
Beyond the families, groups of young adults also frequented the grounds, drawn by the zoo’s peaceful atmosphere. Visitors such as Sakib Mirza and Sohan Islam noted that the lush, quiet surroundings offered a welcome retreat, often proving just as appealing as the wildlife displays themselves.
