==ඉතිහාසය==

Sri Lanka has a history of collecting and keeping wild animals as pets by some [[සිංහල|සිංහල]] kings as well as some [[British people]]. What is known today as National Zoological Gardens of Sri Lanka was founded by John Hagenbeck in the late 1920s. It was closed at beginning of [[world war II]] in 1939 because of the owner of that company was a German. After liquidation of Zoological Garden Company in 1936, the government acquired much of the collection and added it to the Dehiwala Zoo (Zoological Garden of [[Ceylon]]) collection. Although Dehiwala Zoo officially began operating in 1939, an impressive animal collection already existed there as part of Hagenback company's holding area, where public could visit.
        
Major Aubrey Weinman was the first Director of the Dehiwal Zoo. During his period various programs were developed, such as introducing more native and foreign species, educational and [[habitat conservation|conservation]] programs, improving the facilities and infrastructures and more.

By 1969, half of the collection consisted of native species including virtually all of the ක්ෂීරපායින් represented. In 1973, the zoo had 158 [[mammal]] species, 259 bird species, 56 [[උරග]] species and 7 මත්ස්‍යන් species. However, not much has been reported on Zoo progress until [[1980]]s.


==සත්වෝද්‍යානය==
