- The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a 133-acre (54 ha) zoo founded in 1966 and located in Los Angeles, California, United States. The city of Los Angeles owns the zoo, its land and facilities, and the animals.
Exhibits and attractions
Botanical Gardens
In 2002, the zoo became a certified botanical garden, and the official name of the institution was changed to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Throughout the zoo grounds, there are 15 different collections of plants, highlighting over 800 different species, with a total of over 7,400 individual plants.
Chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains
Chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains, a one-acre (0.4-ha) exhibit complex, opened in 1998 and houses chimpanzees. The hillside exhibit is dotted with boulders, palm trees, and an artificial termite mound, and features a waterfall next to a tall rock ledge where the troop's leader can survey much of the area. Guests can view the animals across various moats or through a glass viewing window.
Campo Gorilla Reserve
Campo Gorilla Reserve opened in November 2007 and features western lowland gorillas in a 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) complex. Guests can view the animals through two glass observation windows and three other locations. On January 18, 2020, an endangered western lowland gorilla was born at the Los Angeles Zoo, the first to be born there in over two decades. Plants in the exhibit include palms, pomegranates, and ferns.
Elephants of Asia
Not to be confused with Singapore Zoo’s Elephants of Asia, this $42 million exhibit complex at the center of the zoo opened in 2010 and houses Asian elephants and other southeast Asian wildlife. The main elephant enclosure is 3.8 acres (1.5 ha) and has a 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m2) barn used for medical exams. The complex is divided into several areas, each based on a different country in the elephants' range.
Rainforest of the Americas
Rainforest of the Americas features animals who live in the tropical regions of North, Central, and South America. It opened in 2014 and houses the uakari, southern black howler monkey, red-bellied piranha, keel-billed toucan, harpy eagle, Goliath bird-eating spider, giant river otter, emerald tree boa, cotton-top tamarin, Baird's tapir, jaguar and other species.
Red Ape Rain Forest
Red Ape Rain Forest, a recreation of a Southeast Asian jungle, opened in 2000 and houses Bornean orangutans. The 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) mesh enclosure, which has openings for the guest path to go through, is shaped like a horizontal donut and back-dropped by hibiscus, bamboo, and rubber trees.
The LAIR
The LAIR (Living Amphibians, Invertebrates, and Reptiles), which opened in 2012, is a $14 million indoor-outdoor exhibit complex that focuses on herps and terrestrial arthropods. Guests first pass through the Oak Woodland Pond, where local species can move in and live among native plants. The next feature is the 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) main building where the Damp Forest houses poison dart frogs, Chinese giant salamanders, and a recreation of a Daintree Rainforest river with archerfish, Australian lungfish, and Fly River turtles. The Mangshan pitviper, west African green mamba, South American bushmaster and other snakes live in the next segment of the building, Betty's Bite and Squeeze Room, named after Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association co-chair Betty White. Guests can see keepers care for animals behind the scenes in the Behind the Glass room.

I love this place!
Thank you Tom!
It took so much longer to get through the whole zoo than I was expecting. I hope you enjoyed the first part of the tour
@@TomsRoadTrippinI enjoyed part one. I agree with you about the size of some of the habitats. Birds need a bigger place.
@@TomsRoadTrippinthat was probably due to the LAIR because I heard it's colossal
@@TomsRoadTrippinthat was probably due to the LAIR
I was definitely not a fan of those cage type habitats, the zoo has them scattered around the whole Zoo
Hi Tom, this Zoo is just as beautiful as I remember it from when I went there three years ago. 35:33 I didn’t think there were any other zoos besides the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo that had Mountain Tapir’s. Usually it’s the Baird’s Tapir and the Malayan Tapir which are the Two species I’d see at zoos
That's what I thought too, I was always led to believe the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was the only Zoo in the US to have them. The Baird's Tapir is the type I see the most
I wanted to see LA Zoo
I hope you enjoy the tour
@@TomsRoadTrippin yes I did Can't wait for part 2
16:46 You were half correct, it’s a mix of Greater and Chilean flamingos. The separate area had Greater flamingos only. The best way to tell apart is noting the Greater’s have pink legs, whereas Chilean’s have grey legs with pink feet/ankles👍🏽
Thank You for pointing out the differences
You have also seen Markhors at the Columbus Zoo and the Rosamond Gifford Zoo
Thanks, I sometimes forget if I've seen a rare animal before
@@TomsRoadTrippin your welcome
If the zoo doesn't have unsweet tea what is your next choice of beverage? Their is a lackawanna county coal mine tour in Pennsylvania. You should check it out the next time your in Pennsylvania. You might like it. 😊
If they don't have unsweetened tea I'll go for Sprite. I've never been in a coal mine before, it sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion
@@TomsRoadTrippin Your welcome🙂 I hope you get to go one day 😊
you were almost right about the Mountain Tapir! Los Angles Zoo and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo were the only two to house this species in recent history but Cheyenne's animal passed away so for a bit Los Angeles was the only place that had Mountain Tapir, however they sent one of their tapirs to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo so the zoo could showcase this species again. So now LA Zoo has 3 Mountain Tapir and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has 1. Unfortunately all these animals are related to each other so breeding can't be done in less than a decade this species will disappear from zoos entirely with a near 0% chance they will return so enjoy them while we can(if only the US government didn't bend the knee to the cattle industry we wouldn't have nearly a hard time managing endangered species breeding programs for hoofstock...)
Thank You for the additional information, it's good the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo got another Tapir. Being such an endangered species you'd think the US would have more for breeding to help them from going into extinction
Also I remember you went to Disneyland but how come you don't have a tour of it
I actually do have a complete tour of both parks plus all rides, shops and shows. You'll have to check out my other RUclips channel Walt Disney Planet
They also had Hippopotamuses at one point but they got transferred to the Honolulu Zoo because there were some visitors who kept harassing them and after they got rid of them they used the old exhibit to expand the Indian Rhinoceros exhibit
That was expanded? Geeze I thought the habitat was way too small during my vidit
@@TomsRoadTrippinyeah in fact I watched a video of a man climbing over the fence and reaching into the Hippopotamus enclosure and he smacked one of the hippos ass excuse my language but I am very cross with that guy
People like that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any animals. What kind of piece of crap hits an animal for their sick pleasure
@@TomsRoadTrippin I know right the nerve of some people
@@TomsRoadTrippinUnfortunately Tom, some people are seriously screwed up in the head. Very sad world.
Did you know that they used to have American Black Bears but they got rid of them
I wasn't aware of that
Also I know your reluctant to go to San Francisco and Oakland next year due to crime rate and I'm not trying to criticize you or anything but how come you visited Los Angeles because I have heard the crime rate in LA is pretty severe too
The main issues plaguing San Francisco are car break-ins and catalytic converter thefts. Thieves routinely Target cars with out of state plates or rental cars. Even in parking garages cars are broken into, I'd rather not risk it to see a zoo. It sucks because I really want to see the San Francisco zoo and Oakland zoo
@@TomsRoadTrippin that I can understand and also are there any other cities that have crime rate so bad that could deter you from going besides San Francisco and Oakland or is it mainly just those two
I always keep track of issues going on in any area I'll be visiting. The San Francisco Bay area is really bad right now. The cause is the current Governor that is basically giving criminals a get out of jail card. So they know that they can get away with it
@@TomsRoadTrippin well that's annoying that the governor is throwing a wrench in your plans but I'm glad your keeping tabs on the areas but I hope you find a safe way to get to them
I'll keep monitoring the situation, if there's a way to go without risking my car or stuff, I'll go
