Zoo animal adoption

Now we know it costs Rs 90,000 a year to keep a tiger in captivity.That is how much our chief minster Mr B S Yeddyurappa paid for the upkeep of a Bengal tiger in the Mysore zoo.His gesture made headlines; and the zoo authorities got publicity mileage for their animal adoption scheme.
Anyone could adopt a peacock for Rs.3,000. A chimp costs Rs 65,000 a year....
