Here I can show you some pictures of the animals that are most likely gone from the zoo due to the fact that they probably have already died by now. I took these pictures back in 1987 on one of my many vacations. One place I have always liked to go when in Cincinnati or any city for that matter.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is located in Cincinnati Ohio and is the second oldest zoo in the United States. It opened in 1875. The collection of animals was very small just starting out. The zoo consisted of one tiger, eight monkeys, six raccoons, two elk, one buffalo, one hyena, one alligator, two grizzly bears, one circus elephant, and over four hundred birds which included a talking crow. The zoo was located near the center of the city on 65 acres.

In 1987 the zoo was named as a national historic landmark because of the architecture that was featured in the elephant house, the reptile house, and the passenger pigeon memorial.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden has been the breeding grounds for a very long time for the trumpeter swans and sea lions starting back in the 1880s. To strengthen the success of the breeding tradition, the Lindner Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife was founded in 1986. The zoo is an international leader in the propagation and protection of endangered animals from all over the world.
