Welcome to Lincoln Park Zoo's newest exhibit:
The Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House!
This state-of-the-art building, designed to provide
visitors with close-up views of fifty different species of animals, took
over four years and $12 million to complete.
The unveiling of The Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile
House begins an entirely new era of Lincoln Park Zoo's leadership in wildlife
exhibition, ecological education and conservation. |
Experience the Reptile and Small Mammal
Galleries to observe the endangered Aruba Island Rattlesnake, a colony of
Naked Mole-Rats and Short-Eared Elephant Shrew, among many others. Continue
your journey through a Baobab Tree while keeping an eye out for Mountain
Fruit Bats and a King Baboon Spider!
Explore the building's domed, five-story
Ecosystem filled with mixed-animal exhibits that include waterfalls, dense
vegetation and thatched hut outposts. Learn more about the Cotton-Top Tamarin,
Dwarf Crocodile and the Strangler Fig Tree as you experience animal and
plant life living within a variety of simulated wet forest and dry savanna
habitats. Click in the map below to take you to that area of the building.
Many of the pictures that you will see in the tour have hidden hotspots
