In hoofed animals, the ability to run quickly is essential to escape predators. Therefore newly born calves must be able to stand and keep up with the herd only a few hours after birth. The diets of the mammals at a zoo are as varied as their size and appearance. Each animal receives food closely resembling its diet in the wild. You can see a wide range of mammals at the Santa Ana Zoo.
Some mammals move by running and leaping, some hop and some swim.
Others glide through the air.
