American Trail is the place where Zoo visitors can get their feet wet while learning about gray seals, bald eagles, red wolves, and beavers. The exhibit highlights animals native to the U.S. and Canada, many of which have come back from the brink of extinction and are thriving thanks to conservation efforts. American Trail also features river otters, ravens, and an incredible underwater view of the Zoo’s California sea lions.
