Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden

Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden

Le Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden est le deuxième plus vieux parc zoologique des États-Unis. Il est situé à Cincinnati, dans l'Ohio et a ouvert en 1875.

Situé dans le voisinage d'Avondale, le parc s'étendait à l'origine sur 260 000m² au milieu de la ville et a depuis acquis de nouveaux espaces. Le zoo conduit des programmes de reproduction de guépards, rhinocéros noirs, tigre blanc royal et goriles de l'ouest. Un bonobo y est né en décembre 2003, portant la population du zoo à sept. Le zoo a accueilli Martha, la dernière tourte voyageuse, qui y mourut en 1914, ainsi que la dernière conure de Caroline, en 1918.
