The garden has migratory birds, fruit bats, snakes, jackals, wild cats, mongooses, hares and a variety of spider. Trees include the rare mahogany and other trees from across the globe. The garden also has a 450-year-old banyan tree, known locally as Adyar aala maram, whose aerial roots cover some 60,000 sq m.
