===Destination Africa=== [[File:Calgary Zoo Africa.jpg|thumb|The Destination Africa Savannah Building.]] Opened in 2003, the Destination Africa project was among the zoo's most ambitious expansions. The complex of four buildings includes the ''Rainforest'' and the ''African Savannah''. The Rainforest occupies 2,900 square metres (31,000 square feet) and features a collection of African rainforest flora and fauna. The African Savannah building is home to [[Hippopotamus|hippos]], [[Masai giraffe]]s, [[red river hog]]s, and a [[Adansonia|baobab tree]]. A 340,000-litre (80,000-gallon) indoor pool for hippos offers view of the creatures underwater. In the warmer months, the doors lift to connect the building with the rest of the Savannah exhibit, home to [[Hartmann's mountain zebra]]s, [[grey crowned crane]]s and [[ostrich]]es. Many other animals of the grasslands, including African [[lion]]s, also reside in the Savannah exhibit. In the Rainforest, there are primates such as [[western lowland gorilla]]s, [[Mantled guereza|eastern black-and-white colobus]], and [[mandrill]]s, and a number of reptiles including [[leopard tortoise]]s, [[Sanzinia madagascariensis|Malagasy tree boas]],and a pair of [[dwarf crocodile]]s, as well as an aviary containing various species of African birds. ====Land Of Lemurs==== In 2017, the Land of Lemurs was opened to the public, with 3 different species of [[lemur]]s residing within; the [[black-and-white ruffed lemur]], the [[ring-tailed lemur]], and the [[red-fronted lemur]].
