Description
The Bronx Zoo, headquarters for the Wildlife Conservation Society, is the largest urban zoo in the United States. Its woods, streams and parklands encompass 265 acres. Within this enclave live more than 4,000 animals representing some 1,000 species.
Visitors view animals in spacious, naturalistic habitats. The Congo Gorilla Forest is a dramatic jungle walk through with glass walls that make the visitor wonder who is really on display—the animals or the visitor. The Bengali Express monorail carries visitors through two miles of the open-air Wild Asia exhibit where Siberian tigers, Asian elephants, Indian rhinoceroses and rare sika deer roam. The Zoo Shuttle and several camels offer other means of transportation.
The Himalayan Highland exhibit recreates the lofty terrain of snow leopards, white-naped cranes and other species. The Sea Lion Pool is a freshwater environment fabricated to look like a rocky California beach. The Baboon Reserve is a fascinating simulated archaeological dig tracing the evolution of gelada baboons. The Children's Zoo is a fun place to pet tame creatures only too eager to be close to people-but don't feed them! Here, youngsters can crawl through prairie dog tunnels, climb spiderwebs and listen to the call of the wild through simulated fox ears.
Rain or cold weather are no deterrent to several major interior exhibits including Jungle World, a tropical rain forest for Asian wildlife with waterfalls, ravines and exotic plants; the World of Darkness, home to dozens of nocturnal species; and the Reptile House, where crocodiles, snakes, turtles and a reptile nursery are on display. There's also the Lion House, the Monkey House, the World of Birds, the Giraffe Building, the Aquatic Bird House, the Mouse House and more.
