(I know the banner sucks; bear with me. :P) A proud member of the Environ Association of Zoos and Aquariums. ![]() The Garfield Park Zoo opened in 1946 in historic Garfield Park, California. The mild climate of the area means that a variety of species can survive in the park's expansive zoo. Its main objective was to preserve and protect critically endangered species, but when a wild animal park donated herds of common hoofstock to the zoo, species of all walks of life were admitted into the zoo, ranging from zebras to rhinoceros to lemurs. The zoo's first residents were a pair of spectacled bears, which quickly became the mascot of the zoo. However, the bears passed away; construction on a new spectacled bear exhibit is scheduled to begin in early 2010. Zoo Residents: White rhinoceros Scimitar-horned oryx Spanish lynx California sea lion Ring-tailed lemur Indri White-breasted mesite Gemsbok Warthog Common zebra Wildebeest Thomson's gazelle White pelican Coming Soon: Spectacled bear Wild boar Cuvier's gazelle Drill -------------------------------------------------- Post for pics! |

Wow, thanks CJ! I must say, before I forget, that my old friend Jaguar was my biggest inspiration for this zoo. So, thanks Jag. ![]() When some more people post, we'll get to see the next few exhibits.

The Dwarf Cassowary exhibit is amazing with all the natural foliage, and the Scimitar Horned Oryx's exhibit doesn't have too much foliage in my opinion, maybe it could be an oasis setting. |
