While the Jardim Zoológico (RIOZOO) is not as impressive as the San Diego Zoo, it is an interesting place to visit because it is home to over 2,000 animals, many of them unknown, or certainly little known, in North American zoos. The Amazon Forest section houses mammals, reptiles and birds that are rarely exhibited elsewhere.
A covered bridge leads to a vast expanse where animals are shown in their natural environment, and there is a special place for aquatic mammals and another for waterbirds. The zoo aquarium holds Brazilian river fish.
