The Department of Zoology at Dolphin (PG) Institute of Biomedical & Natural Sciences organized an educational visit to the Chilla Range of Rajaji National Park on 14th May 2026 for the students of M.Sc. and B.Sc. Zoology. The visit was conducted with the objective of providing students with practical exposure to wildlife biodiversity, habitat ecology, and animal behavior through experiential field learning.
During the educational excursion, students participated in an exciting wildlife safari through the forest landscapes of Chilla Range under the guidance of faculty members. The safari offered an excellent opportunity for students to observe wildlife in their natural habitat and gain deeper insights into ecological interactions, species diversity, and wildlife conservation practices.
A major highlight of the visit was the sighting of the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), one of the world’s longest venomous snakes. Students also observed several other important wildlife species, including the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus), Indian Leopard (Panthera pardus fusca), Spotted Deer/Chital (Axis axis), Sambar Deer (Rusa unicolor), Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta), Indian Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros birostris), and eagle species belonging to the family Accipitridae.
The educational visit successfully bridged theoretical zoological concepts with practical wildlife observation and field-based learning. Students gained valuable knowledge regarding species identification, ecological adaptations, biodiversity conservation, and the significance of protected areas in preserving India’s rich faunal heritage.
Faculty members accompanied and guided the students throughout the visit, ensuring a safe, informative, and memorable learning experience. Such field visits play a vital role in developing scientific understanding, environmental awareness, and wildlife conservation ethics among students.
