Lemurs that survive only near a remote lake in Madagascar, snakes that hunt with spider-shaped tails, fish from Mexico extinct in the wild, and solitary Indian rhinos. These are just some of the rare and endangered species visitors can see at the nearly 100-year-old Pilsen Zoo and Botanical Garden. We went there to speak to the animal’s caretakers.

The zoo currently houses over 1,100 species, with around 6,500 animals, attracting about half a million visitors annually.
