We made our last trip to the zoo, before it gets too cold in the beginning of September. We are fortunate enough to live so close to such a great zoo. The North Carolina Zoo, in Asheboro, is nationally recognized as one of the nation’s finest zoos.
It was the first American zoo designed from its inception around the “natural habitat” philosophy--presenting animals and plants in exhibits that closely resemble the habitats in which they would be found in the wild.The North Carolina Zoo was the nation’s first state-supported zoo and remains the nation’s largest walk-through natural-habitat zoo.
Like I said, we are quite lucky. There are all kinds of animals from Elephants, Lions, Harbor Seals, Gorillas, Giraffes, Grizzly Bears, Polar Bears, Elk, and Bison to name a few. In fact, The Zoo is home to approximately 1,100 individual animals representing over 200 species. Here are some photos from our day...
