San Francisco Zoo 
|
|
San Francisco did not begin to lay out its zoo until quite late (1929), but now it is one of the six most important in the United States. Its designers took the Carl Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany as their model. The chief attractions are the snow leopards, polar bears, elephants, pigmy hippos, white rhinos and the monkeys which inhabit an island of their own.
