What's Happening:

Predator Ridge Opens!

Predator Ridge is an example of what accredited zoos nationwide are trying to achieve - larger, more naturalistic and educational exhibits. Beautifully landscaped habitats will be home to 14 African species of mammals, birds and reptiles totaling 50 animals including lions, spotted hyenas, African wild dogs, crowned cranes, African porcupines, banded mongoose, vulturine guineafowl and more. Within Predator Ridge, the "Lion Kopje" (pronounced COE-pee, an Afrikaans term for a rocky outcropping) exhibit is home to two prides of lions. More information.
