Before Going to My experience Let me explain the Construction area for the zoo and its History...the Mysore Zoo was Built-in 1892 and its Constructed in 157acres it is One of the Popular zoos in the World...  
Continue on My Travel Experience after Crossing the first 300 Meters they were Few Exhibits for Small Green Parrots and few red parrots were placed in the same Exhibits and in another exhibit which is Next to Parrot we found a  Bunch of LoveBirds which were Placed in one Exhibit which was Colorful and which was Very Happy to see... finally we Crossed 500meters out of  5km in walk and in the Next Exhibits we saw a Pocket Monkey which is very small as the size of Pocket.... so it was a cutie and wonderful to watch and it was Sleeping on the Bark of Trees... which was wonderful to watch and this is the end of the Bird Exhibits.....and we Crossed around 500 Meters out of 5km zoo... the Next Year is an Interesting one which everyone Loves lots to see...
Lion, Tiger and Leopard, Jaguar Exhibits 
The Entrance was very attractive and Exhibits were Enclosed with unbreakable Glasses and which was at the Center of Mysore zoo... the Entrance and Place of these were Separate... in one full area... bcoz Large exhibits for Lion Tiger and Sealed with unbreakable Glass Area for Leopard and Jaguar its Newly-made Entrance and newly made exhibits with Unbreakable Glass and walking space is also made big ... the Infrastructure was wonderful si took a selfie Near the Location in Mysore zoo RO water is Kept every 500 Meters of the area  and it's well maintained by zoo authorities and don't throw Plastics anywhere in zoo it's Not Good bcoz zoo is Clean and plastic-free Green zoo.... so its a request and selfie stick is Strictly Prohibited inside the zoo ok talking about travel experience after having a wonderful selfie near the Infrastructure we explored one by one exhibit we saw jaguar Sleeping under a House Like Structure so I didn't Get Proper View they were two in the Exhibits and one was Behind the rock... and next we explored Leopard Exhibits we saw more than 2 in one exhibits...
 the View was Like This... the Leopards were Looking another side of the Exhibits some People were Shouting "hoy the Cute ears of Leopard was Twinkling twice and Didn't Care even though lots of Noise around Outside the Duo Leopards were in their own world and Didn't Bother about Noise they were Sitting on top of Stand and were watching Another side which was wonderful Scenes we Crossed Leopard and next we saw a Huge Exhibit for Tiger.

u can see both the Tigers walking parallelly that's a Communications Between them they were Together earlier in the same exhibits it seems or maybe Challenges but the White Tiger is Female and Tiger is Male but very Ferocious Noises " I think they might have Challenged who is the Best for Few Minutes they were roaring at each other and after that, they walked but it was Wonderful to Watch " For me, it was the First Experience Seeing a White Tiger vs Tiger in the zoo...   
There are 5 Feet of Deep gap between the land and exhibit and human should not cross the exhibits the view of the tiger at the Exhibits which was walking around for some Minutes and watching him white Tiger on the left exhibits followed him like what Royal Bengal Tiger does and after watching each other the Duo started roaring Loudly and Noise was huge People Started Gathering near exhibits and were in Curiosity what the noise they were Fighting with words in Between was unbreakable Glass... this is the end of Tiger, Lion, and Leopard Section... walking in Few Meters we Found Indian Guar, Black Bug and Deer section...
