The zoo also has a number of breeding programs for various species.

Fascinating habitats and exhibits include the Africa Trail, which boasts African wild dogs, African lions, white rhino, and Arabian Oryx and the Tropics Trail, which is packed with Asian elephants, giant tortoises, iguanas and ring-tailed lemurs.
