  WALDEN ZOO

           Walden Zoo is an important zoo because it is the largest and oldest zoological garden in the country. The unique climate allows it to keep a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia and Africa, representing a broad mix of species that is unlike any other zoos.

           

The animals are grouped according to their geographical areas, with species that live together peacefully in the wild placed in exhibits together here at the zoo. The trees, foliage and even soil are matched as closely as possible to the native habitats of the animals. Our lush, tropical, open-air exhibits replicate our animals’

natural habitats and allow guests to enjoy beautiful and endangered wildlife at a safe yet remarkably close range.

           

The history of the zoo can be traced back to 1967. At that time, the zoo hosted its first animals of some lions, two elephants and a rhinoceros that had been stranded when a circus went out of business.

Today, it is home to over 3000 animals, representing over 500 different species. Of this population, more than 40 species are classified as endangered. The zoo houses more than 1000 species of trees, palms and other plants. The zoo is also an active leader in many global wildlife and environmental conservation initiatives, and is currently involved in over 36 projects taking place on six continents.
