Review:
NNavajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park is the United States' only tribally-operated zoological park, located in lovely Window Rock, Arizona within the heart of the Navajo Nation. The zoo is the only zoo in North America that labels exhibits in the traditional Navajo indigenous language, operated as part of the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Department. Since the 19660s, its collections have grown from a single bear showcased at the 1963 Navajo Nation Fair to exhibits showcasing more than 50 different animal species native to the Arizona area. Plants and animals used for ceremonial purposes are also showcased onsite, along with orphaned and injured animals found in the wild within the Navajo Nation. Exhibits showcase animals such as black bears, Gila monsters, coyotes, bobcats, cranes, golden eagles, and the federally-endangered Mexican wolf.
