Surya Tej handed the zoo management a cheque of Rs 20,000 towards the adoption charges. “My visit to the Nehru Zoological Park was a nostalgic experience. The zoo houses majestic animals and especially the maintenance of species at the nocturnal animal house is excellent,” he said after adopting the owl from the zoo’s nocturnal house. 

Rajashekar, the zoo curator, thanked the actor for showing keen interest in improving the animal adoption scheme. “Surya’s interest in conserving wild animals will be an inspiration to the others in the film industry. I hope that more citizens come forward to adopt animals,” he said.
