San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo is world famous though I don't feel it's the best it is certainly a top five. The San Diego and Columbus Zoo are alike with both immersing the visitors in the animals domain. San Diego is known for their project work in different areas of the world and also the housing of some of the most endangered animals in the world. The has many great areas, but the can't miss areas are the Gorilla Tropics, which gives guest maybe the best idea of how gorilla live in the wild but being in captivity, Ituri Forest(hippo, okapi, buffalo, and monkeys, Polar Plunge(polar bear), Tiger Forest(tigers, tapirs, and etc.), and Forest Tails and Monkey Trails, the zoos' newest area. The one problem with this zoo is that the only well designed exhibits have been built in the last 10 years while all others are somewhat sad. But all in all this is a zoo you will never forget, with the size of area and amount of animals this is one of the best. Also don't miss the Giant Panda, which this is the only zoo west of Memphis to house them.

In the future the zoo hopes to rebuild the elephant area and the Australia region
