Cincinnati Zoo

The Cincinnati Zoo is the second oldest zoo in the country, only behind the Philadelphia Zoo. The Cincinnati Zoo is known as The Sexiest Zoo in the Country for it's ability to breed some of the rarest animals on earth. The Zoo is located in downtown Cincinnati. The zoo has tried over the past few years to become more up to date with exhibits lay-outs and creating biomes. The zoo has renonvated it's Vanishing Giants area, home to elephants and giraffes, which should be open by spring of 2008. In the zoo world they are known for their ability to breed the un-breedable, an the Sumatran rhino is the perfect example. In 2001 they became the first zoo in America to breed this species and is the only zoo to ever reproduce three offspring. Besides the rhinos the zoos' Manatee Springs(home to crocs, manatees, and snakes) and Jungle Trails(orangs, monkeys, birds, and etc.) are some of the more popular areas. But if you travel to the zoo I will guarantee you will see animals that you've seen before and probably never again.

In the near future the zoo hopes to add a new parking lot, rebuild the Sumtran rhino area so it ill be bigger and visitors will beable to see them all year round. Also hopes are to build a state-of-the-art gorilla facility in the next few years.
