The Bronx Zoo is the largest metropolitan zoo in the United States. It's home for over 4,000 animals, many of which are now endangered or threatened species. The Zoo covers over 265 acres of parklands and naturalistic habitats. Designed to replicate where the animals would normally live in the wild from the rain forest of the jungle to the Himalayan Highland. A long with the many different animals, you will see equally rare and beautiful plants and trees.
