Suggestions for Zoo Exhibit near San Diego

Thomas M. • February 24, 2017Been to the SD zoo dozens of times over the last 50 years. Always amazing, the zoo is constantly upgrading exhibits. Arguably one of the top five zoos in the world!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011We received our 1st koalas as a gift from Australia in 1925. These fuzzy marsupials are not bears, and not as cuddly as you think. They're actually independent, feisty, and often grumpy.

Sean M. • August 27One of my favorite parts of the zoo

Victor M. • March 17, 2019We love it!!!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011The Zoo’s adult male giraffe, Silver, is more than 17 feet tall. With such a long neck, it’s surprising that giraffes have the same number of vertebrae that we do—each one is just much bigger!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011We have 2 gorilla family troops, and they trade off on exhibit. Each is led by a mature male known as a silverback. One troop is led by Paul Donn and the other by Memba.

Erin M. • April 1, 2013Beautiful! There was a 30-60 min wait but it was so worth it. Don't forget you can only see pandas in 4 zoos in the United States.

Miriam G. • July 30, 2017One of the most beautiful animals in the park! Be patient and you'll see it.

Paige C. • August 17, 2015The little ones are adorable!

San Diego Zoo • May 22, 2011The Lost Forest is home to a wide variety of animals, including our bonobos. Bonobos were not identified by scientists until 1926. Before that, they were thought to be another type of common chimp.

Paul B. • February 25, 2012You can tell the zebras apart!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Mangabeys, mandrills, and guenons, oh my! There are 7 different species of monkeys along Monkey Trail, and they are always busy grooming, playing, eating, sunbathing, squabbling – and watching you!

Michele L. • July 30, 2013Capybaras are my favorite <3

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Our orangutans share the exhibit with another primate species from Indonesia, the long-armed siamangs. If you’re at the Zoo soon after it opens in the morning, you might hear the siamangs hooting!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011In the Malay language, sun bears are called basindo nan tenggil, meaning “he who likes to sit high.” They live in trees, and their 4-inch-long claws & large paws help them scamper along branches.
