Miami Zoo Metro in Florida (Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens) is one of the most interesting parks in the world, where more than 2,000 animals are collected. The place for the Zoo was chosen in the suburbs, away from noise, about 25 km from the city, for maximum animals comfort.
In the heat and not only, visitors can always rent single and double strollers with a visor, bicycles and wheelchairs. Also on the territory of the Zoo you can ride on a road train and see the park from a height.
The Miami Zoo is divided into four main zones: Africa, Australia, Amazonia and Asia.
African section. Here live elephants, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, crocodiles, African lions and other feline of African continent, as well as amazing anthropoid apes.
The Asian sector is represented by the largest aviary in the entire western hemisphere, where more than 300 kinds of rare birds are collected. Asian hen house "Wings of Asia" clearly demonstrates the connection between birds and dinosaurs.
The animal world of Asia is represented by Indian rhinoceros and white Bengal tiger, camels, orangutans, amphibians, reptiles and insects. Territorially, this is the largest sector in the Zoo.
The Amazon is recreated by the flora and fauna of the tropics in a 10.9-hectare area, divided into four districts: Village Plaza (Central part) conveys the culture of South America, Cloud Forrest (Rainforest) recreates the nature of the flooded forests of the Amazon, Atlantic Forest (Brazilian Pantanal and Atlantic forest).
The most popular among the small visitors is the sector Australia, which is located between the forests of the Amazon and the jungles of Asia. The main inhabitants of this zone are a kangaroo, a koala and a singing dog, special kind of a wolf that resides in New Guinea. The zone features an amphitheater for 800 people, where animals and birds show every day, for example, show elephants drawing.
The rest of the Zoo's territory is separated from people by small ditches and fences to give us the opportunity to admire animals in real life from afar. But with such security measures, we still can feed the giraffe, see how the tiger is swimming, the hyena is hunting, or the family of pygmy hippopotamuses is walking. If you want to look at animals close to you, specially created artificial caves are provided for you, where a strong shockproof glass separates from the animal man.
An excursion to the Miami Zoo will not leave you or your children indifferent. Come with us, it will be very interesting!
