Zoo Tours: Memphis Zoo's Animals of the Night

EPISODE 138

This episode is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction....

Picture if you will, a zoo exhibit that's lit by the stars - yet, everything around you disappears with every step. You're placed in the middle of a jungle that's alive with creatures that you can see disappear. You've crossed over into Animals of the Night.

The Memphis Zoo's Animals of the Night opened in 1995 and even to this day it remains one of the few nocturnal houses in the United States. People visit zoos to see big name species like lions, bears, elephants and what not but that's what makes nocturnal houses so special - they don't have any of that! Even though seeing animals in the dark can be a challenge it is also rewarding at the same time. Nocturnal attractions across the globe are famous for displaying some of the world's rarest animals - and Memphis's is no exception. Civets, genets, pottos, lorises, and the elusive Bear cuscus make up a small portion to an even larger list of rarities and animal oddities. Please enjoy another special episode of Zoo Tours: Lights Out Edition!
