The Dallas Zoo, Dallas Texas
The Dallas Zoo is a 95 acre park located in Dallas Texas. Home to over 8000 animals, the zoo is on the forefront of animal conservation and scientific research.

The zoo is separated into two major areas; ZooNorth and the Wilds of Africa. Each features a vast array of animals from the large to small, cute to creepy, and delicate to dangerous.
ZooNorth features the ExxonMobil Endangered Tiger Habitat;a one acre exhibit that recreates a recently logged rain forest and houses Sumatran and Indochinese tigers. The Primate Place is made up of 6 different exhibits, each home to a variety of primates. Monkeys from South America, Africa and Asia are on display in recreated habitats. A creepy but interesting exhibit, Bug U features invertebrates native to Texas such as cockroaches, diving beetles, tarantulas, black widow spiders and more.
The Wilds of Africa section is 25 acres that recreates the six major African habitats. The monorail safari takes guests on a 25 minute tour of the entire section so you wont miss a thing. Don't miss Crocodile Isle a new exhibit, which houses three huge Nile Crocodiles.
The Lacerte Family ChildrenÂs Zoo is a great place for interaction with the animals as well as a little education. A Pony Ride, a butterfly garden and petting zoo will keep the little ones occupied and interested.
