Check Out Our 5,000 Amazing Animals

DID YOU KNOW? The Toronto Zoo was the first Zoo in North America to group animals and plants

geographically!

The Toronto Zoo is Canada's premier zoo with over 5,000 animals representing more than 450 species in

various regions and pavilions based on geographical locations. The Zoo is divided into seven

zoogeographic regions: Indo-Malaya, Africa, the Americas (North and South America), Eurasia Wilds,

Tundra Trek, Australasia and Canadian Domain. Animals can be seen indoors in tropical pavilions and

outdoors in naturalistic environments, with barrier-free viewing at many levels.
