The Denver Zoo began in 1896 when the Mayor of Denver was presented a gift of a brown bear cub. Today, the Zoo houses more than 4,000 animals representing nearly 685 species, and the nation’s first environmentally-friendly natural gas-powered zoo train. Denver Zoo is consistently one of the most visited zoos in the country and one of Colorado’s most popular attractions. The new 5,500 square-foot Dragons of Komodo exhibit for the rare Komodo dragon features the largest indoor habitat for Komodo dragons in North America. The Denver Zoo’s other state-of-the-art exhibits include Tropical Discovery, an indoor rainforest where visitors journey past waterfalls, darkened caves, jungle ruins and tropical riverbank exhibits, and Primate Panorama, which spans seven acres and exhibits 29 of the world’s most spectacular species of primates and features a one-acre habitat for the endangered western lowland gorilla
