OKC ZOO EXHIBITS
BEARS
Currently, the Zoo has two species of bears--grizzly bears and black bears. Their exhibits are located in the Oklahoma Trails area of the Zoo. Guests always enjoy visiting grizzly Zoo-favorites, Will and Wiley, who can be seen in the Cross Timbers section of Oklahoma Trails!
CAT FOREST
Some have spots. Some have stripes. And some have a little of both. In Cat Forest, you'll get to visit a wide variety of cat carnivores--from snow leopards and jaguars to tigers and bobcats. Cat Forest is an enjoyable maze of forest-like trails and several buildings with glass enclosures for year-round observation.
