The Journey Begins!
Grab a friend, bring the family and explore the totally new lion viewing area, experience giraffes in their new expanded space, and get up close with elephants on your next visit to the Zoo! Whether you’re looking for family fun, something to do outside, things to do in Baltimore or just a unique activity, the Zoo and our new African Journey habitats are for you.
African Lion
Hassan
Lions like Hassan 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.

Willow
Willow was born at The Maryland Zoo in February 2015. She’s recently taken her first steps into the newly expanded habitat! Our whole herd is making great strides as they explore their new space and make their way down to the Giraffe Feeding Station.
