Delaware may not be full of fascinating National Parks, but we've really got our share of wildlife experiences! When you're looking to take a worldwide safari without leaving the First State, head to the Brandywine Zoo and see all of their unique and quirky animals.
The Brandywine Zoo is one of the region's most underrated attractions, and you'll find rare wildlife here from all over the world.
The Brandywine Zoo opened in 1905, and since then, it's been a great place to get up close and personal with fascinating wildlife.
One of the cheekiest characters here is Sherman. In the Wild, you can only find these critters in the forests of Central Asia.
Squeakers, the Bobcat, is another gorgeous mammal that calls the zoo his home. His normal habitat would have been the Southeastern United States, as he's a Florida Bobcat.
Burrowing Owls, like Dori and Oz,typically live in the Western US. Their habitats are constantly being reduced due to deforestation. They're endangered in Canada, and threatened in Mexico.
Juniper is another one of the zoo's favorite "mascots." She was born in captivity and represents a fascinating mammal that's truly misunderstood throughout their western habitat.
Servals are an African cat that's facing danger from poaching. At the Brandywine Zoo, you'll find a few of these gorgeous felines just begging for your attention.
It's hard to walk past an otter! These adorable river animals are sadly disappearing in their natural environments, and it's becoming harder to spot one out on the water.
Candace, the Capybara, is a funny little South American mammal. You'll love watching her play in her Delaware home!
A day at the Brandywine Zoo is sure to feel like a trip around the world. Visit this hidden Delaware gem to see critters that would never cross your path otherwise.
You can find the Brandywine Zoo at 1001 N Park Dr, Wilmington, DE 19802. For hours and visiting information, which varies seasonally, visit their website here.
