Mother nature has blessed Pakistan with countless bounties. Be it the mighty mountain ranges or the far stretched, deep seas and oceans, the enchanting species of flora and fauna or the large mounds of sand in the form of desserts, all of them have one thing in common. They all sing songs in their own way of the magic that has been cast by nature in different parts of Pakistan.
One of the ways through which we can get a true glimpse of what nature has to offer is through the wide range of animals including mammals, birds and insects that are found. Pakistan is also home to a large number of animal species that are rare yet exquisite in terms of their beauty. Due to various reasons, the different species of animals are in danger. Therefore, they are being kept at various zoos for conservation purposes.
