Zoo Miami, Zoological park in Miami-Dade County, Florida, US.
Description
Zoo Miami is a zoological and botanical garden in Florida housing more than two thousand animals from over three hundred seventy-five species in open exhibits. The grounds cover a large area with several miles of walkways that wind through different geographic zones.
History
The park opened in nineteen forty-eight as Crandon Park Zoo on Key Biscayne before moving to its current location. Early residents included lions, an elephant, and a rhinoceros in a smaller facility.
Culture
The park combines botanical collections from tropical regions with animal habitats that visitors walk through on marked paths. School groups often visit to learn about wildlife and conservation through hands-on programs.
Practical
The park offers live cameras that let you watch animals remotely when you are not on site. Membership allows unlimited visits and provides reduced rates for special events.
Did you know?
The park is the only subtropical zoo in the continental United States and uses the climate for specialized enclosures. Some animal species share habitats because they would naturally coexist in the wild.
