Miami Metro Zoo in Florida

From your hotel in Miami FL, why don't you try something spectacular and wild? Visit the ever famous Miami Metro Zoo; the best free-range zoo in the United States and perhaps the biggest. The zoo is organized and designed according to the habitat of each animal inside it. You will really feel you are a safari hunter only that you will be shooting animals with a digital camera instead of a rifle.

In here, you can find a lot of really big land mammals as well as endangered animals. In fact, the zoo has two new "big" members; the baby abacus and the baby rhino. While you can see bizarre animals like white tigers, big komodo dragons, Cuban crocodiles and gibbons, you can also see the most common lions and bears.
