Ft. Worth Zoo ranked fifth in the nation

[CaptainTom]

It's moved up the list from tenth in the nation.

What a great resource to have right here in the DFW area.

Those four other zoos better watch out, cause we're on the move up....

Having been to the San Diego Zoo recently, I just don't get why it is ranked so high. All of the enclosures are small and most of the animals are behind bars and glass.

Do you have a link to the new rankings?

my thoughts exactly when we 1st visited about 10-15 years ago. When we lived in FtW (83) we were impressed with the zoo there, having grown up in San Antonio.
