The Fort Worth Zoo was founded in 1909 with just one lion, an alligator, one coyote, one peacock, two bear cubs, and a few rabbits. Today the zoo is home to over 7,000 animals organized in themed habitats spread over 25 acres. The main zoo exhibits are World of Primates with a tropical jungle in the atrium, the Penguins exhibit, Asian Falls with a boardwalk from which visitors observe free moving animals, Flamingo Bay, Raptor Canyon, Meerkat Mounds, African Savannah, Australian Outback with Great Barrier Reef, Texas Wild!, Parrot Paradise (a free-flight aviary), and the Museum of Living Art.
