Berkeley Zoological Gardens

Berkeley Zoo, officially Berkeley Zoological Gardens, is an AZA-accredited zoological park on the southern outskirts of Berkeley, California, first opened in 1961, now one of the largest zoos in the state: it is divided for geographical areas representing Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America and North America and actively takes part in many conservation projects around the world, including those for rare species such as the Mexican wolf, the Western lowland gorilla and the Hawaiian monk seal.
