Haryana had many mini zoos spread across the state. In 2001 the Government of Haryana decided to shut these down and replace them with well developed viable zoos, this included setting up the zoo at Rohtak within Tilyar Lake complex.[4]

As a result, enclosures for housing animals and aviaries for birds were built. Visitor facilities such as landscaping, walkways and trials, gardens, hillocks, lakes, artificial waterfalls, cafe, visitor toilets and resting shelters, watch towers, drinking water facilities, etc. were created.[5]

The following animals have been housed in this zoo:[6]

  • Deer Park, Hisar, founded in 1970-71, is oldest among zoos and deer parks in Haryana
  • Haryana is now left with five tigers in captivity: two each in Mini Zoo, Bhiwani and Rohtak Zoo and one in Pipali Zoo[7]
  • In 2003, a baby baboon was born in captivity in Pipali Zoo[8]
  • In 2009, tiger Apaya of Bhiwani zoo attacked and killed a tigress.[9]
  • In 2011, tiger Apaya of Bhiwani zoo entered the enclosure of another tigress Rani and attacked her. Rani died and was buried on the zoo premises.
  • In 2011 another tiger Brondis had killed a caretaker in Bhiwani zoo.
  • In 2014, 43 private school kids who were visiting Bhiwnai zoo were attacked by bees.[10]
  • In 2019, Rohtak Zoo gets two leopards – a four-year-old Varsha and a three-and-a-half-year-old Pawan[11]
