The Kurumbapatti Zoological Park is a second largest zoo in Tamil Nadu next to Arignar Anna Zoological Park, situated in the foothills of the Shervaroyan Hills, 10 km from Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. It was set up in 1981 as a small museum and was later extended to 69 Ha. The zoo houses many species of wildlife, with monkeys as the major attraction, and is in the vicinity of reserve forest, permitting visitors the opportunity to also experience the flora and fauna there. The park has a gentle topography, areas of bamboo and woodland and semi-perennial streams.{{cite web|title=Annual Report 2016-17|url=http://cza.nic.in/arz/kurumar1617.pdf|access-date=30 January 2018}} Facilities include a children's playground area.{{Cite web|url=http://cza.nic.in/Annual%20inventory%2017-18%20(WD).pdf|date=2018-03-31|title=Zoo Species info from CZA, Category(Small Zoo), Page(267)|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2018-08-13}}{{cite web|title=Kurumambapatti Zoo information in tamilnadu forest|url=https://www.forests.tn.gov.in/pages/view/Zoo-Authority-Of-TN|access-date=6 January 2018}}{{cite news|title=Battered road keeps visitors away from Salem zoo|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/battered-road-keeps-visitors-away-from-salem-zoo/article4917111.ece|newspaper=The Hindu|access-date=3 January 2018|date=15 July 2013}}{{cite web|title=Zoo Bird Info|url=https://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S33426850|access-date=9 January 2018}}{{Dead link|date=May 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
