Established in 1987, the Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park was designed to provide animals with large, naturalistic habitats that closely resemble their native environments. The park is home to numerous species, including big cats, deer, primates, reptiles, and birds, and it also plays an important role in wildlife conservation, captive breeding, and environmental education.

People sometimes confuse the largest zoo by total area with the largest zoo by number of animals or visitors. The title of the world's largest zoological park by land area generally belongs to Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park, while other zoos may hold records for different categories.

In short, Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park in Tirupati, India, is widely recognized as the world's largest zoological park by area, spanning about 5,532 hectares.
