In a heartbreaking turn of events, Mumbaikars will no longer be able to witness the majestic elephants at Byculla Zoo. After the passing of Anarkali, the last remaining elephant, the city's only zoo has bid farewell to these gentle giants — and it seems this may be the final goodbye. For decades, the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Vanaspati Udyan has been home to elephants — creatures that have won the hearts of countless Mumbaikars. With the passing of 59-year-old Anarkali on November 10, an era has come to a close. And it’s not just the end of Anarkali’s life that is so difficult to accept, but the fact that no more elephants will ever step foot inside this zoo again. Anarkali and her companion, Laxmi, were the heart of Byculla Zoo for over four decades. They were more than just animals; they were a part of the city’s soul. Together, they brought joy, wonder, and awe to generations of children and families who visited the zoo.

Eight penguins - three males and five females - were brought to the Byculla zoo from Coex Aquarium at Seoul in South Korea in 2016, and one of the birds later died.
