Bahawalpur Zoo (Urdu: بہاولپور چڑیاگھر), established in 1942, is a 25-acre (10 ha) zoological garden in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] It is managed by the Government of Pakistan.[4]

The zoo has occasionally bred and supplied wild cats, such as Asiatic lions and Bengal tigers, to other zoos in the country. It also has an aquarium and zoological museum with stuffed birds, reptiles and mammals.[2]
