The zoo is home to over 150 species of animals, many of which are threatened or endangered, including Amur Tigers, Red Pandas, Bali Minah Birds, Snow Leopards, Tamarin Monkeys, Bongos and more. Along the banks of the Red Cedar River, Potter Park Zoo is surrounded by majestic oak trees and a beautifully landscaped environment creating the perfect atmosphere for animals and visitors.
