ANIMAL COLLECTION

At the Jackson Zoo, we take pride in our diverse collection of animals, which includes several species that live in pairs or groups. It's important to understand that not all of our animals will be on display at the same time. To ensure their health and well-being, some animals are rotated on and off exhibit daily to allow for rest and enrichment. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to visit frequently to see all the amazing animals we care for!
