Toronto Zoo

The Toronto Zoo is currently the largest zoo in Canada with a total area of 287 hectares. The zoo was open in 1974 and is now home to more than 5,000 animals across over 460 species. The animals are subdivided into seven zoogeographic locations namely Africa, Indo-Malaya, Americas, Tundra Trek, Eurasia, Australasia and Canadian Domain. Some of them are displayed indoors while others can be found outdoors in their naturalistic environments and can be viewed at different levels.

Aside from displaying animals, the Toronto Zoo also takes part in helping conserve endangered species all over the world. The zoo’s efforts against captive breeding have been quite successful for years. The zoo has also been the location for many notable births including those of a Komodo dragon, a tree kangaroo, two West African African dwarf crocodiles, a male gorilla, three Sumatran tigers, three orangutans and many more. The Toronto Zoo draws in millions of tourists every year and is only closed on Christmas Day.
