Audubon Zoo Full Tour - New Orleans, Louisiana

The Audubon Zoo is an American zoo located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is part of the Audubon Nature Institute which also manages the Aquarium of the Americas. It covers 58 acres (23 ha) and is home to 2,000 animals. It is located in a section of Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans, on the Mississippi River side of Magazine Street. The zoo and park are named in honor of artist and naturalist John James Audubon who lived in New Orleans starting in 1821.
Exhibits:
FLAMINGO EXHIBIT
The first exhibit at Audubon Zoo features a flock of flamingos in a parade of pink feathers.
ASIA
Journey to Asia and visit some of the beautiful and exotic animals native to this part of the world. Asian elephants, orangutan, Amur leopards, tiger, sun bears, and babirusas.
WORLD OF PRIMATES
The Zoo’s World of Primates exhibit features the western lowland gorillas, striking lemurs, loud siamang, mandrills, and active golden lion tamarins.
JAGUAR JUNGLE
There are recreated ruins and amazing animals like the endangered jaguars, giant anteaters, spider monkeys, macaws, and Brazilian ocelots.
LOUISIANA SWAMP
This award-winning exhibit features Louisiana culture, wildlife and history.
AFRICAN SAVANNA
Visit a zebra, splash around Monkey Hill, see the African Painted Dogs, or feed a giraffe in the Zoo's African Savanna exhibit.
LION HABITAT
Audubon Zoo is swelling with pride! The Zoo's lion family has grown by two! Mom Kali and dad Arnold are the proud parent's of two male cubs, born January of 2020 and named Haji and Asani.
SEA LIONS
Make a splash on your next trip to the Zoo with Audubon’s California sea lions! Audubon Zoo has welcomed a pair of female sea lions who were recovering from injuries and health problems at the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles in San Pedro. The newcomers have settled in, and have now joined the Zoo’s family of four sea lions.
WHOOPING CRANES
Whooping cranes are rare and endangered beauties. Once thriving, whooping cranes are now the rarest species of crane and North America's most endangered native bird. You can learn more about these birds and see two of these rare beauties at Audubon Zoo. With the help of strong conservation efforts there is hope. In 2016 a pair of Whooping cranes raised their chick in the wild in Louisiana for the first time in 75 years.

    About to watch it Tom, will edit this comment later this week so watch out for that to see my thoughts on it Tom! I hope you have a good day Tom 💪! -------------------------- Edit: really enjoyed this one Tom! Sucks that it was a bit chilly and a few animals weren’t out. I do have a question though, we saw otters in two different locations in the zoo, the Asian small clawed otter but we saw another one, but the signage just said otter, would you happen to know the species Tom? I enjoyed seeing that big gator and the snakes and the false gharial! I thoroughly enjoyed the signage all throughout this zoo about the animals, the maya people and the swamp and the history of the Zoo! Overall Tom, awesome Tour! You never disappoint! Also I’m curious when are you leaving for your next road trip? Hopefully you read this edit Tom!
