Triangle Metro Zoo, Zoo in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
Triangle Metro Zoo extended across 40 acres of woodland terrain, featuring natural habitats intersected by a creek for its diverse animal population.
The facility began operations in September 1998 as Zoo Fauna before becoming Triangle Metro Zoo, continuing its mission until closure in February 2006.
The name Triangle referenced the geographical region encompassing Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, making it a central attraction for local communities.
The facility maintained approximately 500 animals from 85 species, including Bengal tigers, lemurs, military macaws, blackbucks, and numerous exotic creatures.
Following the zoo's closure, the Bengal tiger Raja received a new residence at the Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro after quarantine at North Carolina Zoo.
