San Francisco Zoo

 

Zoos, or zoological gardens, exist in many forms all over the world. The first zoo showing wild animals from exotic locations to the public was opened in London Zoo, in 1828.

Zoo now often incorporate landscape immersion, where the animals' natural environment is recreated in their enclosures.

Modern zoos range from safari parks, where visitors drive through vast areas, seeing animals in the open range, to petting or childrens' zoos, where children can hold or stroke domestic and farm animals. Zoos also include aquariums, animal sanctuaries, animal theme parks, bird parks and reptile parks, and there are even butterfly zoos.

Zoo visits are fun, entertaining and educational, so wherever you are, visit your local zoo.

  • San Francisco Zoo

    At San Francisco Zoo in San Francisco we believe that we have created the ultimate center for wildlife by providing the best care and attention for the rare and endangered species entrusted to us. Our mission is to educate visitors to wildlife, and in so doing inspire in them a caring attitude for nature and conservation. We have established an eductional centre which provides formal and informing programs for children and adults alike, then there is a park and nature center which showcases native plants and gardens, and a bird sanctuary which is a bird watcher's paradise. And when you need to rest awhile, there is a recreation area where visitors can relax and have some fun. However, the main attraction to the zoo is, of course, the animals, who are housed in habitats ideally designed to show them off. Among the most popular animal exhibits are the African lions, gorillas, tiger salamanders, one-horned rhinos, awesome grizzly bears, to name just a few, and for the very brave, feeding time at the grizzly paddock is usually around 11.00am, be there, its a fearsome event.
