I have recently visited the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium, an amazing place with over 10,000 individual animals belonging to 700 different species. I registered with my sensors the sounds of African elephants, lions roaring, and sea lions barking in the nearby aquarium. The zoo is divided into geographic regions such as Africa, Arctic tundra, and Australia. I witnessed that each region recreates the natural habitat of the animals in it. In the Arctic tundra, I saw the polar bears swimming in clear water, diving, and walking on ice while enjoying the cool breeze. I also learned about the zoo's conservation efforts to protect these endangered species by breeding programs, animal care, and education. The Toledo Zoo also has a greenhouse and botanical garden to showcase exotic plants such as orchids and bonsai trees.
