 Cheetah
Cam
Notice also
the view into the elephant exhibit from the cheetah
exhibit. This exhibit was created to have multiple
vistas across the other yards in the Plains Biome.
Walrus Cam is
temporarily out of order.
Aurora is a dark brown/gray color. She shares her
exhibit with the Zoo's young male sea lion, Diego. Walrus are very rare in human care;
the Zoo is one of only a handful of institutions that
are capable of caring for them.
Elephant Cam is
temporarily out of order.
 Our
African elephant herd includes adult females - Ivory;
Sophi, the oldest and largest female (the one with the
notch in her left ear); Kubwa, the tallest of the
females; and, Tombi, the one with the straight and
beautiful tusks. We also have two "babies" - Kedar, a
male born to Kubwa in 2005, and Zahara, Ivory's little
female, born in August 2006.

Penguin Cam
 Check
out the rockhoppers, gentoos and king penguins inside
the Oceans building! The rockhoppers are the smallest
species - the ones with the yellow feathers jutting out
from their heads. The gentoos are the middle-sized birds
with the plain white stripe across the top of their
heads. The king penguins - the second largest of all of
the penguin species - are the ones with the distinctive
yellow patches on the sides of their heads.

Tiger Cam
 Check
out the Zoo's three Amur tigers in their Tiger Forest
presented by Citizens Energy Group exhibit. The
Amur tiger is the largest of the five surviving tiger
species and is critically endangered. Only about
350-400 Amur tigers survive in the wild, with about the
same number in human care around the world.
