Zoos are primarily dry facilities where animals are confined within enclosures and displayed to the public, and in which they may also be bred. Such facilities include zoos, safari parks, animal theme parks, aviaries, butterfly zoos, and reptile centres, as well as wildlife sanctuaries and nature reserves where visitors are allowed. The oldest zoo in India is Thiruvananthapuram Zoo, Kerala. It is also the oldest in Asia. The zoo and park was opened in 1859, whereas the museum was opened in as early as September 1857. HH Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (1816–1846), the ruler of Travancore during 1830–1846, was the visionary behind the establishment of the Thiruvananthapuram Museum and Zoo
