What is the Denver Zoo like today?
In one word - extraordinary. Visitors can view 3,500 different animals, representing over 650 species. That means a rare look at exotic animals like amur leopards, king cobras, black rhinos, coral reef fish, elephants, zebras, vampire bats, gorillas and more.
Updated habitats
Modern zoo exhibitry has improved the lives of animals and created a richer experience for Denver Zoo visitors. With naturalistic habitats like the new Predator Ridge as well as Tropical Discovery, Primate Panorama and the Dragons of Komodo exhibit, the Zoo is working to enhance the lives of some of the world's most endangered species.
Preservation for the future
Not only are some current exhibits unique to Denver Zoo, but unique in the wild as well - 188 zoo species are considered threatened or endangered, and three species are actually extinct in the wild. That's why Denver Zoo continues to foster an education-based approach to the appreciation of wildlife and conservation of our precious natural resources.
