Delhi Zoo Bird Walk Records 47 Species, Wildlife Week Next

The correct answer is 2 to 8 October 2026. The zoo has planned a week of walks and competitions in that window, among them a tree walk, a birds walk, a butterfly and dragonfly walk, a spider and insect walk, a reptile, amphibian and molluscs walk, a keeper's talk with enclosure enrichment, and contests in clay modelling, poster making, debate, essay writing, drawing, rangoli and quiz, besides online photography and quiz activities. Options A, C and D shift the window by a day or more and do not match the announcement. Two further details are worth carrying with the dates: no fee is charged for any walk, activity or competition, and free entry is given to participants along with their teachers, accompanying staff and parents, as well as to children up to twelve years of age.

The correct answer is 47 species, with sightings of more than seven hundred and fifty individual birds during the walk. Options A, B and D are not figures reported from the exercise. Along with the birds, the walkers recorded eight butterfly species, ten dragonfly species and five damselfly species in the walk area, which the zoo treats as evidence of the diversity of odonates and butterflies inside the park. The observations were made between half past six and half past ten in the morning under bird expert Rohit Sharma and butterfly and dragonfly expert Ramver. The zoo describes such walks as citizen science, since ordinary visitors contribute field records that add to biodiversity documentation while learning to identify species themselves. Fifteen participants joined this walk, and the zoo caps each Sunday nature walk at twenty to twenty-five people so the session stays useful.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the ministry that handles wildlife and biodiversity matters and under which the National Zoological Park works. Option B deals with farming and allied activities, option C with museums, academies and heritage institutions, and option D with travel and destination promotion, so none of them is the parent ministry of the zoo. The zoo's Director is Dr Sanjeet Kumar, who told participants that nature walks build field identification skills, improve understanding of food webs and add to biodiversity records. For the examination, tie the zoo to this ministry, to the citizen science walks held on Sundays, and to Wildlife Week, which it will observe from the second to the eighth of October. Registration for the walks is taken in advance through the NZP Sathi mobile application or the zoo website, on a first come, first served basis.

The correct answer is 20 to 25 participants, a cap the zoo keeps so that each walk stays a close and useful learning exercise rather than a crowd. Options A, C and D do not match the limit set for these walks. Registration beforehand is compulsory and is accepted first come, first served through a form that stays open from Monday to Friday every week, with the link put up on the official website of the National Zoological Park and on the NZP Sathi mobile application. Note the distinction between this cap and the turnout at the walk being reported, which was fifteen participants. For Wildlife Week the zoo has invited school students from government and private schools across Delhi-NCR, and charges no fee for any activity.
