Zoo Atlanta, Wildlife park in Grant Park, Atlanta, US.
The 40-acre zoological garden houses more than 1,000 animals from different continents, including African elephants, gorillas, giant pandas, and orangutans.
Founded in 1889 with a circus owner's gift of a menagerie, Zoo Atlanta evolved from a small animal collection into a leading conservation center.
Through educational programs and research initiatives, Zoo Atlanta works with local schools and universities to increase understanding of wildlife preservation.
Visitors can purchase tickets online, and the zoo operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except during Thanksgiving and Christmas days.
The facility maintains one of North America's largest collections of western lowland gorillas and serves as one of four US institutions housing giant pandas.
