According to sources, the new guests, brought under an animal exchange programme, included a pair of hoolock gibbons, a pair of pig-tailed macaques and a female Himalayan black bear.

The animals were brought to Nandankanan Zoo from the Aizawl Zoological Park in Mizoram under an animal exchange programme. In exchange for the new species, the Nandankanan Zoo sent two tigers to Aizawl, zoo officials said.
