Considered one of the top zoos in the country, Woodland Park Zoo is home to over 300 animal species and 1,000 plant species. Animals are featured in naturalistic settings, grouped in bio-climatic zones. The tropical rainforest showcases frogs, snakes and a feathered parade of rare birds. On the Northern Trail, you'll find Northwest animals and birds, and at Bug World, there are plenty of creepy critters. The African Village offers an in-depth look at the culture, dwellings, animals and habitats of Africa. In the Savannah viewing area, you'll see zebras, giraffes and pata monkeys. Lions roam in a nearby separate enclosure, so they won't eat their neighbors. Be patient, these mammals show themselves at their leisure.
