Exciting Animal Encounters at ZooTampa
Pygmy Hippos:
Unlike their larger relatives, pygmy hippos are smaller, standing just about three feet tall and weighing only a few hundred pounds. Despite their size, these hippos have big personalities and are a guest favorite.
Aldabra Giant Tortoise:
Native to Aldabra Atoll near Madagascar, these massive tortoises are one of the last remaining species of giant tortoises in the Eastern Hemisphere. Guests can participate in a special encounter to meet and interact with these incredible creatures.
Great One-Horned Rhinoceros:
ZooTampa is home to both Southern White Rhinos and the critically endangered Great One-Horned Rhino, also known as the Indian Rhino. Unlike their white rhino cousins, Indian Rhinos have a single horn and thick, armor-like skin, making them one of the most unique species at the zoo.
