Zebra at Fort Worth Zoo
Fort Worth Zoo
Fort Worth’s Zoo is ranked as one of the top five in the
United States and is home to more than 5,000 animals living in
natural habitat settings like Raptor Canyon, the Koala Outback and
Asian Falls. A recently opened new eight-acre section called Texas
Wild takes visitors on a journey through the state to see
indigenous animals like swift foxes, ocelots and white-tailed deer,
including some endangered species. This section includes a mock-up
of a Texas town with a restaurant, store, saloon and jailhouse.
Another popular diversion here is the chance to try managing a
computer-simulated ranch.
