Navajo Nation Zoo is the United States' only tribally-owned zoological park, operated by the Navajo Nation since the early 1960s. The park, which is located within lovely Window Rock within the Navajo Nation, showcases a population of more than 100 animals belonging to 50 species, most of which are native to the lands of the Navajo Nation. Nearly all animal residents were found injured or orphaned within Navajo Nation lands and are cared for onsite, as their injuries prevent them from returning to the wild. More than 50,000 annual visitors explore the park each year for free Mondays through Saturdays and view animals such as Mexican wolves, bobcats, Gila monsters, red foxes, coyotes, and cougars. All exhibits are labeled in the indigenous Navajo language, honoring the Navajo Nation's cultural traditions.
