The Dallas Zoo opened in 1888 and is the oldest and largest zoological park in Texas, covering more than 100 acres in the southern part of the city. Photographs and videos of animals at the Dallas Zoo-ranging from orangutans to giraffes-have been widely shared online and have been used in numerous internet posts and animal-related memes. The zoo operates exhibits, conservation programs, and public events that generate new imagery regularly.
