The garden had already acquired monkeys, gorillas, ostrich, geese, tortoise, peacocks and crocodiles.
Yinusa said that the contractor handling the project was on ground to evaluate the site that could be suitable to house the animals.
He added that due to the level of patronage and the increasing demand of the people the management of the garden deemed it fit to increase the number of animal.
Yinusa said the garden was determined to satisfy its numerous customers; hence it would do everything possible to expand its operations.
Reports say that since the garden went into Public Private Partnership (PPP) it had witnessed a face lift.
Also before now, the zoological garden was like a grave yard as people hardly patronised it because there were little or no animals.
Yinusa, however, said ``people were not really aware of the existence of a zoological garden here, because they never knew of its existence ``.
He said with the PPP initiative the garden now received visitors, stressing that there had been request by customer to increase the animals as they were becoming bored with the existing ones.
``They have been requesting for a lion, species of monkeys, snakes and other animals,`` he said.
Yinusa said that animals like anaconda, other species of monkeys and gorilla among other others would soon be added.
