More info: Set in the heart of The Bronx, the zoo has created a window in to the world of wildlife, for city dwellers. Bronx Zoo is home to over 10,000 animals, more than 700 species and covers over 260 acres of hardwood forest in the Bronx.
Part of the zoos mission is to connect visitors to wildlife and inspire them to join their conservation work. Scientists at the Bronx Zoo, and the Wildlife Conservation Society's four other zoos and aquarium, are working to protect the future of all species and the places they call home.
