Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
This 23.5 acre urban zoo is also the third oldest zoo in the United States. The animals are not kept in cages, but left to move freely in large and modest enclosures with trees, streams, pools, and other natural-like features. Among the mammals are endangered Siberian tigers and Asian elephants, along with rock hyrax and pigmy zebu. You'll find reptiles like Egyptian spiny-tailed lizards, and pancake tortoises. The amphibians includes tomato frogs, and Puerto Rican crested toads. Some of birds you'll find include cinereous vultures and Lady Ross' plantain eaters.
