The Salisbury Zoological Park, commonly referred to as the Salisbury Zoo, is a 12-acre (4.9 ha) zoo located on the Delmarva Peninsula in the Salisbury, Maryland city park. To prevent the zoo from becoming a motley assortment of animals, the Salisbury Zoo chooses to mainly house species native to North and South America rather than exotic animals from many different continents. Its collection of over 110 animals includes American alligators, flamingos, North American river otters, ocelots, Patagonian Cavys, red wolves, two-toed sloths, jaguars, llamas, turtles, macaws, rescued raptors and owls, and a spectacled or Andean bear.
