|  The Oakland ZooOakland Zoo, in the past known as the Knowland Zoo, is a zoo located in southeastern Oakland, California, United States. Oakland Zoo is relatively small for a city of its size, but has more modern displays for such a well-established zoo. Many of its animals are kept in relatively "natural" habitats, and further efforts along those lines are in the works. The newly completed Valley Children's Zoo is a good example of where the zoo is headed, with interactive exhibits, state of the art animal housing facilities and children's play areas. The Zoo is nationally known for its excellent elephant exhibit and has been praised for allowing their elephants to roam freely. (Source: Wikipedia) Official Website: The Oakland Zoo |
