North Carolina Zoo

The North Carolina Zoo is known as having one of the longest walking trails in the country for zoos. This zoo has two main regions, North America and Africa. North America is broken into 4 regions. Everglades(gators, snapping turtles, pumas, and waterfowl), Arctic(sea birds, polar bears, and seal lions), Prairie(bears, wolves, elk, and bison), and temperate forest(otters, bobcats, snake and fishes). The African region has a gorilla (within the year they are to recieve a group of male gorilla from the Columbus Zoo), chimpanzees, giraffe, elephant, rhino, antelope, and much more. The zoo also has a desert region and avairy. The zoo is in the process of developing better exhibits for the elephants and rhinos. Though the zoo doesn't have the most high-tech things it makes up with it's sure size and nature.
