Live From JungleWorld
Grooming each other atop a maze of branches in our Asian jungle, the silver leaf langurs display their close social bonds. The JungleWorld cam is live daily from 10am to 4pm EST. When the cam is off, use the time lapse feature in the top right hand corner to play back the previous day’s footage.

As people watch the gharials swim, bask, and interact with the other wildlife in the exhibit, we hope to raise awareness of the dire conservation needs of these animals in the wild."

In the Exhibit
White-cheeked Gibbon
This critically endangered species is native to Vietnam, Lao PDR, and China. Adult females are a buff color with a black crown, while males are black with light-colored cheeks.
Indian Gharial
JungleWorld’s gharials serve as ambassadors for their species as part of an ongoing conservation partnership with the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust Center for Herpetology.
Tapir
Tapirs enjoy water, and you can often find them wading in their pool. They have short, bristly hair similar to domestic pigs.

“
JungleWorld is our favorite place in the zoo. My family could watch the langur and gibbon families for hours. They’re fascinating, and they have personalities and relationships just like we do. They’re much better climbers, though.
