In 1861, the zoo was transferred to municipality by the government. In 1878, the municipality placed the zoo under a trust to be developed out of public subscription. Later, the zoo was once again opened to public in 1881. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the name was changed to 'Karachi Zoological Gardens' or 'Karachi Zoo' for short. In 1953, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation introduced a zoo curator and a qualified veterinary doctor. In 1991-2 CDGK for remodelling of Natural History Museum, which was carried out.

Karachi Municipal AquariumKarachi Municipal Aquarium was constructed in 1953. Located inside the Karachi Zoo, the aquarium has a total of 28 tanks which contain a total of around 300 fishes of about 30 species.[1] It is one of the three public aquaria in Karachi, the other two being Clifton Fish Aquarium and Landhi Korangi Aquarium. Controversies and criticismThe treatment and conditions of the animals in the zoo has been criticized in the Pakistani media.[2] Another reason Karachi Zoo has developed a negative reputation because of multiple deaths of resident species of Arabian oryx, classified as critically endangered by IUCN. A pair was bought from a private farm in 2007. The female gave birth to a female in 2007 and later, to a male and a female in 2008, both of which died in 2009.[12] The first-born oryx gave birth on March 12, 2010 to another calf, who died the following day. Four days later, the mother of the calf also died in the zoo hospital. At that point, the zoo was left with the original pair from 2007.[13] On March 23, 2010, the female of the pair, who was being treated for a foot injury at the zoo hospital for a week, also died.[12] On April 2016, a 16-year-old Bengal tiger named Alex died in the zoo due to kidney failure while being diagnosed. Now the zoo is left with only one female tiger named Rachel. Zoo has requested the government for a new male tiger for zoo.[3] Earlier the same month zoo lost three young Blackbucks in a fight within the enclosure during the night, as the zookeepers are only present in daytime, there was no one to take care of the animals when the incident happened.[4][3] Three newborn Puma cubs have died recently in the zoo.[5] New ArrivalsOn 15 March 2017, two new bears were welcomed to the zoo, a male Asian black bear and a female Syrian brown bear.[6] Species list{{col-begin}}{{col-1-of-4}}Aves
