MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - National Zoo Lovers Day encourages people to visit and explore our local zoos and learn about the animals that live there.
The Montgomery Zoo has 12 animal realms spread out over about 42 acres with about 200 different species of animals.
Zoo Lovers Day is also about gaining a deeper understanding of all a zoo does that many people never realize. At the Montgomery Zoo, education about the animals that live there is a top priority. The zoo also works to protect endangered species, housing 12 endangered species in Montgomery.
