One of the city's most popular attractions, the San Antonio Zoo is open year-round.

Also on display are the Reptile House, Amphibian House, and the Friedrich Aquarium. Africa Live boasts Boom the Nile crocodile and famed hippos Timothy and Uma. It is also the home of The Last Three, the 17-foot tall bronze sculpture of the then-three (now only two) remaining Northern white rhinos on earth.
