Nashville Zoo Nashville Zoo News

Updates from my visit yesterday. Right across the way from the newly open Kangaroo kickabout is going to be a new cassowary exhibit. I had asked a docent what will go in the current cassowary exhibit and he said the director hasnt told them yet but it will be a new animal. The current tiger exhibit is getting a massive redone. doubling the exhibit in size. The zoo had one lone male bontebok in with the damara zebras,eland & Ostrich. The zoo will also be putting Springbok on exhibit. It was a nice zoo. first time visiting and i enjoyed it along with the clouded leopards which i have to say is probably my favorite feline species. It's good to see this zoo growing. Construction will begin on a new entrance on June 1st.

The tiger exhibit was already very nice. I wonder what the new redo will look like?

Totally agree ! We gotta wonder why this zoo would waste money on a exhibit which is already a very solid exhibit as well as on the main entrance.Have wondered for awhile when a major expansion will be in Nashville.

Are these the only true bengals in the us?

Most, if not all, bengals in the US (including these) are of uncertain pedigree. That is to say, they most likely have some siberian mix ancestry and are not one hundred percent pure at the subspecies level.
