Zoo Miami - Exhibits and Animals

Exhibits and Animals

There are four main exhibit sections in the zoo; Asia, Africa, Amazon and Beyond and Australia. Pelican Cove, a large pond fed by a waterfall, contains various types of pelicans and waterfowl and lies adjacent to the ticket booths and Island Trader, the zoo's gift shop. Dr. Wilde's World is an indoor, seasonal, interactive exhibit that resides at the junction of the zoo's main pathways. The property includes a large lake, called Lake Iguana.

An air-conditioned monorail that loops around the zoo's premises, provides both an aerial view of the zoo and a convenient way to move between sections. The monorail has four stations; the first is in-between Asia and Australia, the second is located in the former, and the final two are in Africa.

Narrated tram rides and guided tours are given daily.

Famous quotes containing the words exhibits and/or animals:

    Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    There is nothing worse than an idle hour, with no occupation offering. People who have many such hours are simply animals waiting docilely for death. We all come to that state soon or late. It is the curse of senility.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
