Franklin Park Zoo Full Tour - Boston, Massachusetts

The Franklin Park Zoo is a 72-acre (290,000 m2) zoo located in Boston, Massachusetts and is currently operated by Zoo New England, which also operates the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The zoo is located in the northeast portion of Franklin Park, Boston's largest park and the last component of the city's famed Emerald Necklace. The zoo was opened to the public in 1912, and managed by the City of Boston until 1958, when the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) began management. Under the MDC's control, the zoo opened several new exhibits, including Bird's World (c. 1975), the Children's Zoo (1984), and the African Tropical Forest (1989). In 1991, the zoo's management was handed over to the Commonwealth Zoological Corporation (CZS), which also gained management of the Stone Zoo. In July 1997, the CZS was renamed Zoo New England to "reflect the changing image of both zoos". The zoo has been accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1990. Exhibits The zoo contains more than 220 species of animals and includes the following main exhibit areas. The Tropical Forest: a 3-acre (1.2 ha) building roofed by a huge Teflon-coated cloth dome. The building mimics the animals' natural environment with streams, moats, faux-rock structures, hidden fences and barriers. The exhibit includes western lowland gorillas, fruit bats, dwarf crocodiles, ocelots, ring-tailed lemurs, West African pottos, Baird's tapirs, Linne's two-toed sloths, green anacondas, giant anteaters, Ruppell's griffon vultures, De Brazza's monkeys, cotton-top tamarins, pygmy hippos and various birds and reptiles. Serengeti Crossing: 4-acre (1.6 ha) grasslands exhibit with common ostriches, white-bearded wildebeest, Hartmann's mountain zebras, and common warthogs. The exhibit first opened in 1997, making it one of the first new exhibits to open at the zoo since the opening of the African Tropical Forest in 1989. Kalahari Kingdom: A large African themed area housing two African lion brothers. Visitors can view them through a replica of a land rover "crashed" into the exhibit, glass, or from over a moat. Outback Trail: Australian animals such as red kangaroos, western gray kangaroos, red-necked wallabies, emus, citron-crested cockatoos, North Island brown kiwis, laughing kookaburras and tawny frogmouths. Giraffe Savannah: Opened in 1999, this large habitat contains a herd of Masai giraffes, black crowned cranes, Grévy's zebras and Somali wild ass. Bird's World: A large building dating back to the zoo's 1912 opening containing dozens of bird species in four different environments: swamp, rainforest, desert, and wetlands. Outside, there is a large flight cage for Andean condors, Eurasian griffon vultures, and Steller's sea eagles, and other birds from around the world including black crakes, boat-billed herons, Gouldian finches, great hornbills, green aracaris, Indian peafowl, kea, lesser flamingos, sunbitterns, violet turacos and various waterfowl. Butterfly Landing: a seasonal exhibit containing over 1,000 butterflies in free flight. This large outdoor "tent" also has streams and a waterfall surrounded by numerous plant species. Children's Zoo: A three-acre complex which includes a new, walk-through aviary with assorted Asian birds, black-tailed prairie dogs, red pandas, turtles, Baikal teals, and Reeve's muntjacs. There is also the Franklin Farm, a barn with paddocks for livestock and an interaction area for goats with various outbuildings. Gorilla Grove: This dynamic outdoor habitat features over 360,000 cubic feet for the troop to explore, including vines and trees for climbing, a cascading waterfall, and a multitude of built-in foraging opportunities for gorillas to discover throughout the day. ________________________________________________________________ Subscribe To My Channel For More Great Videos Like This    / tomsroadtrippin   Send Me Mail Tom's Road Trippin 19046 Bruce B.
