The North Carolina Zoo is strategically located approximately 100 kilometers west of Raleigh and 100 kilometers northeast of Charlotte. This central location in the state makes it easily accessible for visitors from both cities and beyond.
Zoo Sections and Animal Groupings
The North Carolina Zoo is divided into sections that group animals from different geographical regions such as North America, Africa, or desert areas. This arrangement allows visitors to experience a variety of wildlife in their respective habitats, enhancing the educational and entertainment value of the zoo.
Animal Population and Habitat Design
As of early 2021, the North Carolina Zoo is home to about 1800 animals. The zoo's design is aimed at showcasing and breeding animals in groups and geographically appropriate species communities. Large forest areas, wide grass and herb landscapes, and artificially created lakes and rock formations provide species-appropriate habitats for the animals.
