A spotted deer buck attends to a doe in the Central Zoo of Kathmandu, Nepal. Opened in 1932 as a place to house the private animal collection of the current prime minister, the zoo is now run by a non-profit nature conservation trust. It maintains exhibits of some of Nepal’s most well known and endangered fauna, including one-horned Indian rhinos, Bengal tigers, and the clouded leopard.
