Dallas Zoo is a 106-acre zoo located about 3 miles from downtown Dallas in Marsalis Park. The zoo was established in 1888 with two deer and two mountain lions and is the largest and oldest zoo in Texas. It provides home to more than 2,000 animals from 406 species. The major exhibits are the Gorilla Research Center, Chimpanzee Forest, Koala Walkabout, Penguin Cove, Giants of the Savanna, and the Endangered Tiger Habitat, a 2-acre habitat that has been designed to look like a re-growing logged forest. Visitors can observe Malayan tigers and Sumatran tigers through a glass viewing area and there are numerous pathways through the sunny and shaded areas with shallow pools, deep channels, running streams, rocks, and climbing trees.
