municipally owned zoo in
Fort Worth,
Texas, U.S. Established in 1909, the 76-acre (31-hectare) zoo is managed by the Fort Worth Zoological Association and exhibits more than 5,000 specimens of some 500 species. The zoo's herpetarium has a large collection of reptiles and amphibians and has bred endangered species such as the bog turtle (
Clemmys muhlenbergi). The James R. Record Aquarium was opened in 1954 as an extension of the zoo; it closed in 2002, and a new herpetarium was slated for the site.
Koalas, cheetahs, tigers, rhinoceroses, meerkats, and Komodo dragons are among the species on view at the zoo; exhibits on birds of prey and on Texas wildlife are major attractions. The zoo is involved in conservation activities for species such as the Jamaican iguana (Cyclura collei).
