Description
The Denver Zoo is an 80-acre zoological garden founded in 1896. It is owned by the City and County of Denver and funded in part by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The zoo is also considered to be the most popular paid attraction in the Denver metropolitan area.
The zoo was started with the donation of an orphaned American black bear, making it the first zoo in the United States to use naturalistic zoo enclosures rather than cages with bars with the creation of Bear Mountain.
It expanded with Primate Panorama, featuring huge mesh tents and open areas for apes and monkeys, and Predator Ridge, which has three separate areas where animals are rotated so that their overlapping scents provide environmental enrichment.
