Alipore Zoo

Goutam Guchhait, a 40-year-old man from West Bengal, was arrested on Wednesday after he beheaded his wife and walked around in public with her severed head. The horrific scene in Purba Medinipur district was filmed by locals.

His wife's severed head in one hand and a sickle in another, a man in Bengal was seen walking around at a bus stop, making vague and threatening remarks.

A 40-year-old man was seriously injured today at Kolkata's Alipore zoo after he was attacked by a lion. The man, identified as Gautam Guchait, jumped inside the lion's enclosure; officials believe he was drunk.

People will now be able to see the birds and animals of the Alipore zoo from their homes with the authorities starting live sessions on Facebook, as the city's one of the top destinations continues to remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The zebra foal was named Valentina as she was born on February 14, the Valentine's Day, zoo director Asish Samanta told reporters.

From arranging curd rice for bears, to setting up shades, authorities at the popular Alipore Zoo here are taking extra care to keep its inhabitants stress-free as the mercury soars, an official said on Wednesday.

The Kolkata Zoo played host to an unusual set of painters yesterday. 20 inmates of the Alipore Correctional Home were at the zoo to participate in an art workshop whose theme was wildlife conversation. The inmates have been learning to paint for the last five years as part of a drive to use creativity as therapy.
