Uttar Pradesh Parks to Close for Monsoon Season
Imagine the national parks and tiger reserves in Uttar Pradesh are like big playgrounds for animals.
Because it's the rainy season and the animals are having babies, these playgrounds will be closed from June 15 to October 31.
This helps keep the roads safe since they can get muddy and helps protect the animals during this special time.
This includes places like Dudhwa and Pilibhit.
Zoos are also closing to keep everyone safe.
The parks will open up again on November 1st!
