In the Louisiana Swamp Exhibit you'll find wildlife from the local swamps like alligators and raccoons and plant life including cypress knees and Spanish moss. You'll also have an opportunity to sample some spicy Cajun cookin' there.

Audubon Zoo Jaguar Jungle

In Jaguar Jungle you'll step back into the time of the Mayans and learn about the culture and myths surrounding these people of Central America. You'll come face to face with storks, spider monkeys, scarlet ibis, a sloth and jaguars, which were one of the most sacred animals of Mayan culture.

Rex and Zulu eagerly await your visit. These two playful white tigers will entertain you with their pouncing antics when they aren't lounging around sunbathing.

In the Reptile Encounter you'll get an up-close look at a fascinating pair of Komodo dragons. Weighing in at about 200 lbs. and spanning 6-9 ft., the Komodo dragon is the world's largest lizard. One bite can be deadly so don't peck on the glass!
