Zoo in Mandalay Division, Myanmar
The Yadanabon Zoological Gardens (Burmese: ရတနာပုံ တိရိစ္ဆာန် ဥယျာဉ် [jədənàbòʊɰ̃ təɹeɪʔsʰàɰ̃ ʔṵjɪ̀ɰ̃]) is a zoo in Mandalay, Myanmar. The zoo has nearly 300 animals, including tigers, leopards and elephants,[1][3] and plays a major part in the conservation program for the highly threatened Burmese roofed turtle (Batagur trivittata).
According to a March 2011 report by a Yangon-based news magazine, the zoo reportedly is under consideration for privatization.[2]
