The Wild

From the sub-Antarctic to tropical rainforests, animals have made some pretty amazing adaptations. See some of the hardy species that climb, swim and swing through some of the seemingly inhospitable places on the planet. Our naturalistic habitats are designed to help showcase the natural abilities of these hardy species. Starting with one of the oldest exhibits, Bear Bluffs, to our newest exhibit, Fragile Forest, you'll see animals from each corner of the earth displaying behaviors you would see in the wild. Careful, prolonged exposure to this area could bring out your wild side...
