The San Antonio Zoo is a 56-acres Zoo and has a collection of over 3,500 animals representing 750 species. Its annual attendance exceeds 850,000.
The Zoo opened two of the first cageless exhibits in America in November 1929 that offered visitors views of the animals not available in caged exhibits. The Richard Friedrich Aquarium was dedicated in 1948, and the Hixon Bird House opened in 1966. The Zoo's bird collection is now one of the world's largest.
The Zoo is involved in breeding a number of endangered species including Black Rhino, Leopard, Golden Lion Tamarin, Dama Gazelle, Attwater's Prairie Chicken, Black Mangabey, African Lion, Black-Footed Ferret, Komodo Dragon, Andean Condor, Caribbean Flamingos, and many more.
The Zoo recently opened Phase II of the Africa Live project. Phase I brought a new exhibit for Hippos with underwater viewing area and one for new Nile Crocodiles as well as many other smaller animals. Phase II contains Angolan Colobus Monkeys, Okapi, African Hunting Dogs, Rock Hyrax, and various species of birds contained in the second largest aviary in the world.
