Nandankanan Zoo Welcomes Seven Baby Yellow Anacondas
A zoo in India, Nandankanan, just got seven new baby yellow anacondas!
These snakes came from other zoos and now live in a special area.
There are now 14 anacondas at the zoo, and more babies are expected soon.
The zoo is building a bigger home for them, like their swampy homes in South America.
These snakes can grow to be very big.
This shows how zoos help protect special animals and let people learn about them.
Nandankanan Zoological Park welcomed seven baby yellow anacondas.
The anacondas were born to a breeding pair from the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust.
The zoo now has 14 yellow anacondas, with another birth expected soon.
Newborns are in quarantine, planned for public viewing after development.
