The zoo also houses more than 40 endangered species, with more than 150 species of plant and animal life. A 1500 square-foot ancient alligator exhibit features 9 ft. long Elvis in a habitat of cycads and bamboo as it was 200 million years ago. A rare eyelash viper from Belize and the deadliest rattlesnake known, the Mohave green, live in the reptile house. And the scarlet-chested parrot, placed on the endangered species list in 1972, lives on through captive breeding. Also featured at the zoo is the last family of Barbary Apes in the United States and the only golden eagle on display in Nevada.
