Jungle Trails
The Equator’s year round warm and wet climate supports the
tropical rainforest ecosystem. Here a wide variety of interconnected
plant and animal species have flourished, giving rise to some
of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Jungle Trails takes visitors
on a journey through the rainforests of Asia and Africa to witness
just a sampling of the amazing wildlife that lives there.
A recipient of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association’s
prestigious exhibit award in 1994, Jungle Trails sets the rainforest
stage through detailed sculpture and murals, a wild soundtrack
and a plethora of exotic plants and animals. Endangered primates
such as orangutans, gibbons and bonobos are the highlights of
the trail and can be viewed from both indoor and outdoor areas.
