Join Rob Nelson from Untamed Science as he learns more about the North Carolina Zoo in this video series.

From vultures and gorillas in Africa to endangered plants and amphibians in our own state, the North Carolina Zoo has been involved in the conservation of animals in the wild for over two decades. 

The North Carolina Zoo is the largest natural animal habitat zoo in the world. Journey along shaded trails to discover more than 1,800 animals in habitats ranging from African grasslands to Arctic tundra. In the North American region, visitors can observe animals such as the Grizzly Bear, the Red Wolf, and the Black Bear in their natural habitats.

Zoo visitors can also observe other exotic species such as lions, giraffes, and elephants in the African region. Additionally, the Zoo also has a walk-through aviary where guests can encounter more than 100 exotic birds. Zoo visitors should stay tuned for future animal experiences in our new Asia region, scheduled to open in a few years.

Dig out your craft paper and glue. It is time to make something new. On Wednesdays, we will bring you a new craft or activity inspired by Zoo EDventures.
