At the time of writing, a new zoo was being planned, in which case this one will likely close.

All that remained was to find a suitable site for the new zoo.

Officials hope the new zoo will open in the summer of 1997.

The new zoo will welcome 150 to 200 species.

The elephants and big cats were not moved to the new zoo until November.

By the end of January 1923 the new zoo was ready to be opened.

The new zoo was to target educating children about animals.

The new zoo, to open in fall 1997, will be geared toward education.

But officials say the new zoo will have 24-hour security guards and more secure fences.
