Sierra Nevada Zoological Park

Zoo in Reno, Nevada, United States

The Sierra Nevada Zoological Park, formerly the Sierra Safari Zoo, was a zoo north of Reno, Nevada, United States.[2] Opening in 1989, it has grown to become the zoo that houses more exotics in the state. The zoo houses a wide variety of exotic animals from around the world, including chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, big cats, reptiles, sloths, and others.[3] The nonprofit zoo at times has received community support through in-kind donations such as meat from hunters to help support the animals in the zoo.[2]
