International Orangutan Center Construction Cam
Get a bird's eye view as the Indianapolis Zoo's newest
exhibit begins to take shape! Construction began in
October 2012, and once complete, the International
Orangutan Center will
be a spectacular and unique place for people to learn
about this endangered species. The exhibit is scheduled
to open in May 2014. Until then, the International
Orangutan Center Cam is the only place for up-to-the-second updates on
the exhibit's progress.

Center.

Cheetah and Elephant
Cam
Step inside the Plains exhibits that our
cheetahs and elephants call home. This might be the only
time you'll catch up to the speediest of all land
mammals! The cheetah exhibit was created to have
multiple vistas across the other yards in Plains.
Notice also
that these majestic creatures have a view of the
neighboring elephant exhibit, and with just a few
clicks, you can pan around to see them, too! You'll get
a bird's eye view of our eight African elephants. Some
of the faces you might see include "senior" pachyderm
Sophi, who has a noticeable notch
in her left ear, young
Kalina, born in 2011 to mother
Kubwa,
and our newest addition
Nyah, born in 2012 to mother
Ivory. Photo by Fred Cate.

Penguin Cam
Check
out the rockhoppers, gentoos and king penguins inside
the Oceans building! The rockhoppers are the smallest
species — the ones with the yellow feathers jutting out
from their heads. The gentoos are the middle-sized birds
with the plain white stripe across the top of their
heads. The king penguins — the second largest of all of
the penguin species — are the ones with the distinctive
yellow patches on the sides of their heads. Photo by Susan Lang

Tiger Cam
Transport yourself to the continent of Asia without ever
leaving your computer chair! Amur tigers are the largest
of the five surviving tiger species and are native to
Russia as well as parts of China and North Korea. Only
about 350-400 of these critically endangered animals survive in the wild, with about the
same number in human care around the world. Here, you'll
get a view of the Zoo's three Amur tigers inside the
Tiger Forest presented by Citizens Energy Group exhibit. Learn more
about saving tigers.

Walrus Cam is
temporarily out of order
Aurora is our veteran adult female walrus. She shares her
exhibit with Pakak, a male Pacific walrus calf who
was found stranded off the coast of northern Alaska by
the
Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. We
are very lucky to have these animals since there are
only 19 walruses in human care at zoos
and aquariums around the United States. Watch a video of Pakak and
Aurora interacting
here.
