Why don’t we have zebra, elephants, or rhinos?
With any animal we want to make sure we are able to provide the highest level of care. When making a decision to exhibit a species, the resources must be available to build an exhibit that reflects the animal’s wild habitat, as well having staff to properly care for the new animals. The zoo currently only uses about half of the land it has available and is always exploring ways to expand.
