Ramnabagan forest, with its tall and stately [[teak]] and [[Sal tree|sal]] forest having mesophytic associates like kadbels (''[[Limonia acidissima]]''), dumur (''[[Ficus racemosa]]''), jam (''[[Syzygium cumini]]''), etc., is a solace from the din and bustle of urban life.

Chital and barking deer were introduced here since its inception in 1978. The present population of chital (spotted deer) is quite high.

Not just captive animals , many free living animals and birds are also present in the forest cum Sanctuary area. Common langurs are abundant in the zoo area, [[storks]], [[snakes]], [[mongooses]], and birds like [[Common myna|martins]], [[Parakeets]], [[cuckoos]], [[owls]], [[spotted dove]] thrive in a remarkable habitat in this sanctuary cum zoo area.

In recent time, many new developments has been done in the Zoo including erection of new spacious enclosures for animals. A Nature Interpretation Centre has also been built for Children's knowledge and interest.
