Get Up Close and Personal With Oregon Zoo’s Animals

The Oregon Zoo is located in Portland, Oregon, United States. The 64-acre (26 ha) zoo began as the city’s animal control center in 1997 and now features more than 1,900 animals. The Oregon Zoo is operated by the Metro regional government. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).

The Oregon Zoo is home to more than 2,200 animals representing over 230 species from around the world. Many of these species are endangered or threatened in their natural habitats. The zoo also offers educational programs about animal conservation for all ages, as well as humane education programs that teach children about the proper treatment of pets and other animals. It also operates a wildlife rehabilitation center that cares for sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife from around Oregon. The center works to release healthy animals back into their natural habitat whenever possible.

The Oregon Zoo is a popular destination for school field trips and family outings. The zoo offers many educational programs and events throughout the year. In addition to its animal exhibits, the Oregon Zoo also has a number of habitats that are open to the public. These include the Polar Passage, Black Rhino Exhibit, and Primate Forest. The Polar Passage habitat is home to polar bears, arctic foxes, and penguins. The Black Rhino habitat is home to black rhinos, antelopes, and warthogs. The Primate Forest is home to gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. There are also on-site scavenger hunts that are great for kids of all ages.

We got in touch with Carlos on a Saturday desperate for help with our ice dams, as we had water actively running into the house. He got a crew together for us the next day.
