Giants of the Savanna Roars into the Dallas Zoo! A herd of elephants crosses the savanna toward a glistening swimming hole, seeking relief from the hot summer heat. Nearby, a tall giraffe nibbles on the leaves of a tree under the watchful eye of a lion lounging in the distance.It's not a dream African safari. It's the Dallas Zoo's new Giants of the Savanna - and DART Rail will take you there.
The new $30-million, 11-acre Savanna ranks as the largest animal habitat of any North American zoo, and it makes the 106-acre Dallas Zoo the biggest in Texas. Nearly 90 creatures - lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs and ostriches - call the Savanna home, and most roam the open plain with only a few natural predators contained in separate habitats. The picturesque landscape also features water holes and mud pits, surrounded by native African grasses trees, shrubs and rocks. Information: dallaszoo.com.
