Bison, once nearly driven to extinction, are now thriving in many zoos as part of conservation efforts. The bison plains exhibit recreates the wide-open spaces of the American Midwest, where these majestic animals once roamed in great herds. Visitors can see these powerful animals up close and learn about their recovery and the role they play in grassland ecosystems.
The giant panda is one of the most beloved and endangered animals in the world. Many zoos participate in panda breeding programs to help increase their numbers.
In the zoo, visitors can encounter majestic animals from the savannah, such as lions, giraffes, and zebras. These animals thrive on large, open landscapes that mimic their natural habitats.
