"In 1978 a safari park was created on the northern part of the island, covering an area of 9 hectares.[9] The park is used as home to a number of exotic animals, most of whom were brought to Tito as gifts from heads of states who were members of the Non-Aligned Movement. These include Nilgai antelopes (given by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1959), the Kob antelopes (given by Zambia in 1962), Somali sheep (given by Ethiopia in 1959), Zebus, zebras, Indian Elephants and llamas.[9] In addition, the chital deer, the Fallow deer and mouflons were introduced to the island in the early 20th century.[10] Their numbers increased in the following decades and can be seen roaming freely around the island."
