African Forest
In the African Forest, there can be lots of action. You will see the leopards, lions, red river hogs, Colobus monkeys, bonobos, an okapi, and lowland gorillas. This region also exposes you to over 700 species of African plant life. The area with bonobos apes is entertaining to say the least. These intelligent animals clean each other, play, and even fight with each other. The "Gorillas in the Round" exhibit includes the world's first large ape, Colo, born in captivity. The African lion is very proud. Only the male lions have mane. Did you know that humans are the only predator of the lion, unless it is sick dying? Lions are carnivores and will eat anything from insects to giraffes. A sight to remember is the okapi. A okapi is an animal that is half zebra and half giraffe. You have to see it to believe it.
