It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Its mission is conservation, research, recreation, and education. In August 2014, TripAdvisor proclaimed Henry Doorly Zoo the "world's best zoo", leading San Diego Zoo and Loro Parque, based on an algorithmic assimilation of millions of reviews for 275 major zoos worldwide.
  Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research. Evolving from the public Riverview Park Zoo established in 1894, today the zoo includes several notable exhibits. It features the largest cat complex in North America; "Kingdoms of the Night" is the world's largest nocturnal exhibit and indoor swamp; the Lied Jungle is one of the world's largest indoor rainforests, and the "Desert Dome" is one of the world's largest indoor deserts, as well as the largest glazed geodesic dome in the world.
context_section_description: The Lied Jungle opened on April 4, 1992, at a cost of $15 million.
  It is one of the largest indoor rainforest exhibits in the world; it occupies an 80-foot (24 m) tall building that spans 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) and is located just inside the main entrance. This exhibit allows visitors to look out from behind a 50-foot (15 m)-tall waterfall.
  Inside are 123,000 ft² (2.82 acres; 11,400 m²) of floor space, of which 61,000 ft² (1.4 acres; 5,670 m²) are planted exhibit space; 35,000 ft² (0.8 acres; 3,250 m²) are a display management area; and 11,000 ft² (0.25 acres; 1,020 m²) are an education area.
  Visitors can walk along a trail on the floor of the jungle, as well as on a walkway around and above the animals.
  Along both trails, about 90 species can be found, including:
  Blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis)
  Common squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)
  Black howler monkey (Alouatta caraya)
  Pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis)
  Scarlet macaw (Ara macao)
  Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii)
  Indian crested porcupine
  Gibbon
  Otter
  Cichlid
  Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis)
  Note: Ring-tailed lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, and black-and-white ruffed lemurs were on display in the Lied Jungle, but were moved to a new exhibit, Expedition Madagascar, in 2010 because they are from Madagascar.
  Many different types of plant life also thrive throughout the jungle.
  The exhibit is broken up into sections by continent, including Asia, Africa, and South America.
