Denver Zoo
The Denver Zoo is an 80-acre facility located in the City Park neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. It was started in 1896 with the donation of an orphaned American black bear. With the construction of Bear Mountain, it became the first zoo in the United States to use naturalistic zoo enclosures rather than cages with bars. Today, visitors can view nearly 4,000 animals representing 700 species including the incredibly rare okapi, red-bellied lemur, Amur leopard, black rhino and Siberian tiger. The zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is also a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
