A worldwide safari awaits
visitors to Audubon Zoological Gardens, where adventures take shape in such
realistic environments as the Asian Domain, the African Savanna, the Australian
Outback and the Louisiana Swamp. Exotic landscapes and cultural details
enhance up-close encounters with creatures whose native habitats span the
globe. The animal list exceeds 1,500 specimens from amphibians to zebras,
and educational presentations include the chance to interact with animals
on Discovery Walk; narrated feedings; and entertaining shows starring sea
lions, elephants and an engaging collection of local creatures such as nutria
and alligators. Counted among the nation's top zoos, Audubon continues to
grow with new exhibits and activities; 1997 marked the debut of the Komodo
dragon, 1998 marked the debut of the Jaguar Jungle.
