The
zoo is home to a variety of mammals and birds. Many of the
zoo animals live in mixed-species exhibits, enabling visitors
to see the animals living together and interacting as they
would in the wild. Since the zoo resides in a 22-acre forest
along a salt marsh, if you pay attention, you may see many
of the zoo animals’ wild counterparts such as foxes,
raccoons, and birds along the forest trails or in the marsh.
