In 1975, the Central Florida Zoo settled into its new location along Lake Monroe. Today, our Zoo is home to more than 350 animals representing over 100 species, from tiny, yet mighty, scorpions, to graceful giraffes and even the endangered Indian rhino. Come meet some of our planet’s rarest animals and get to know the species in your own backyard a bit better, including the Florida black bear and the American alligator.
