This exhibit holds the zoo's pack of Mexican wolves, the most endangered species of wolf in the United States.

One can see them through underwater viewing windows or walk to the top of the exhibit and watch the bears lounge, feed, and slide down the waterfall.

Due to a renovation modernization of the Catwalk, African lion siblings, Kenya and Dixie, were permanently transferred to the Abilene Zoo in March 2023.

The zoo also houses the only captive population of locust coquis, critically endangered frogs from Puerto Rico.

The area was expanded in 2023, adding flex exhibits for the zoo's orangutans, siamangs, tigers and snow leopards.

In September 2018, the zoo started making major progress in an expansion of the area with several different plans being put in motion.

Five species of birds from North and South America are mixed in this aviary: burrowing owls, Gambel's quails, greater roadrunners, hyacinth macaws and sun conures.

The 14,550 sq ft (1,352 m2) building includes a 75,589 US gal (286,140 L; 62,941 imp gal) main tank, above-ground and underwater guest viewing areas, a large interactive educational area and an outdoor deck overlooking the Zoo's main park.

The main pool depths varying from 5 to 12 feet (1.5 to 3.7 m) allow for plenty of space for penguin activity including special public feedings with keepers, swimming and enrichment.

The exhibit includes natural day/night and seasonal lighting cycles to help regulate the penguins' hormonal balancing and breeding.
