The Animals & Man is home to the Zoo's African Elephant, Asian Elephant, River Hippopotamus, Giraffes, Lemurs, Cranes and other smaller species. In 2004 a new outdoor exhibit and pool was constructed for the zoo's hippo. This pool provides over 2,000 sq. ft additional living space and a 28,000 gallon outdoor pool.
The
Jungle Cats new exhibit opened in the summer of 2005 that features
Sumatran Tigers. The three Sumatran tigers are the smallest of the five species of tigers and have the darkest coat, with broad stripes closely spaced together. The exhibit also houses our African
Black Leopard Emma. This new exhibit features a waterfall, live plants and trees in the exhibit for the leopards to utilize. The tropical Rain Forest is a 100 foot diameter dome that encloses a wide variety of free-ranging mammals, birds and reptiles, in a lush tropical environment. At the Water Bird lagoon visitors can view examples of Trumpeter Swans, Snow Geese, Pacific White-fronted Geese, Canadian Geese, and Barhead Geese.
There are many more exhibits featured at the Topeka Zoological Park. We invite all visitors to take a walk and enjoy all of the exhibits.
