The zoo housed a wide variety of exotic animals from around the world, including chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, big cats, reptiles, sloths, and others.[4] The nonprofit zoo at times has received community support through in-kind donations such as meat from hunters to help support the animals in the zoo.[3]
In popular culture
The zoo is featured in the 2017 film War for the Planet of the Apes as the zoo that the character Bad Ape escapes from after his family and acquaintances are killed by the soldiers.[5]
