The Journey Begins!
This spring, visitors can get closer than ever to our African wildlife in their vast new Savanna habitats. Lions are already back on exhibit with giraffes and elephants soon to follow. Plan your visit now, or buy tickets to see them all during our annual Brew at the Zoo event this Memorial Day Weekend.
African Lion
Hassan
Lions are dominant predators lording over the food chain wherever they roam. What they have over every other big cat, and over every other African predator, is strength in numbers. They know that when it comes to catching dinner, it pays to cooperate.
