Los Angeles Zoo, Public zoo in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, United States.

Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a 133-acre (54 ha) zoo in Griffith Park, entered beneath a metal-frame sign reading "LOS ANGELES ZOO" with blue panels showing birds, a sun and wavy lines. Its 15 plant collections hold over 800 species and more than 7,400 individual plants. Exhibits include the hillside Chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains, with boulders, palm trees and an artificial termite mound, and the 1.5-acre Campo Gorilla Reserve.

The current facility opened in 1966 as a replacement for the earlier zoo in Griffith Park and was built at a new location within the same park. During the 1990s, a comprehensive renovation program began that fundamentally modernized enclosures and facilities.

The zoo's name comes from the city, and since 2002 it has also been a certified botanical garden. Its grounds hold 15 plant collections with over 800 species and more than 7,400 individual plants. The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, founded in 1963, runs one of the country's largest zoo volunteer programs.

The zoo sits in Griffith Park, about two miles north of the old Griffith Park Zoo site, and the 2028 Olympic road cycling time trials will start here. The grounds cover 133 acres, so allow time to cross between the Entry Plaza and far exhibits such as Elephants of Asia. The zoo is owned and staffed by the city of Los Angeles.

Part of the grounds is dedicated to a breeding program for California condors that played a decisive role in saving the species from extinction. The number of birds has increased considerably since the 1980s, and some young birds are later released into the wild.
