Fresno Chaffee Zoo, Zoo in Fresno, United States.
The Fresno Chaffee Zoo spans 39 acres and houses 190 species, including stingrays, sea lions, African animals, and birds in naturalized environments.
The zoo originated in 1908 with two bears and fifty birds, receiving official recognition as Roeding Park Zoo from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 1929.
The arrival of Nosey the elephant in 1949 led to the creation of the Fresno Zoological Society, establishing strong connections with the local community.
Visitors access the underwater viewing area at Sea Lion Cove, which features a 250,000-gallon saltwater tank surrounded by preserved redwood trees.
The zoo maintains breeding programs for nineteen endangered species, including the Andean condor, Malaysian tiger, and addax through the American Species Survival Plan.
